Coloring page story
It was time to clean up. Everyone was putting toys away. But Noah couldn't find his favorite toy: the little green dinosaur. He looked under the table. He looked in the block bin. He looked behind the bookshelf. The green dinosaur was gone. Noah's bottom lip started to wobble. A girl named Fatima saw him. "What's wrong?" she asked. "I lost Dino," he sniffled. Fatima didn't just help look. She said, "Let's be detectives!" She put her hand over her eyes like a spyglass. "Detective Fatima sees something green... by the play-doh!" Noah ran over. There was Dino, covered in a little speck of pink play-doh. He wasn't lost, he was just having a snack! Noah hugged Dino and said, "Thank you, Detective Fatima!"
Coloring page Age Appropriateness
The highly expressive faces help 3-5 year olds identify emotions like worry and happiness. The story of finding a lost toy is universally relatable. The composition is simple, guiding the eye directly to the children and the dinosaur, making it easy for young kids to understand and color.
Coloring Page Coloring Instructions
Hooray! Detective Fatima and Noah found the dinosaur! Let's color in the happy scene. What color will you make the dinosaur? The story says he's green, but you can make him any color you like! You can give our two detective friends colorful clothes to celebrate their success!
Coloring Page Printing Tips
Print on standard paper. Before coloring, you could turn it into a game: hide a small object in the room and have your child be a 'detective' like Fatima to find it, then color the page as a reward.
Recommended Tools
A mix of tools works well here! Fine-tip markers or colored pencils for the small dinosaur, and chunky crayons for the larger areas like the children's clothes and the background. This offers a great fine-motor workout.
