What’s on this page?
There’s a lot happening on this one: tall rocks, rushing water, two canoes, a curious fish and a very patient crocodile. It’s a great page for older kids who like to color for a long time, or for two kids to share.
What can you talk about while you color?
Riding a crocodile takes courage! Ask your child: “Would you ride the crocodile or the canoe? Why?” There’s no wrong answer, and it’s a fun way to talk about what feels brave and what feels scary.
A coloring idea from me
Use three or four blues for the river, from light to dark, and watch the water start to move.
