Creative Extension Activities
- Pair this coloring book with complimentary YouTube videos to help your kids learn even more animal facts. This will also give them a chance to see what the animals look like in real life which will make it easier for them to identify these animals in the wild.
2. Visit your local library to find books about forest animals. If you are visiting from out of town, you may even be able to find a fun audiobook that will help you pass the time on your travel days.
3. If your child is too young to read, you can use the completed book as a bedtime story or family readaloud.
Tips For Printing
While any printer paper will do, coloring pages are best printed on heavyweight printer paper to help avoid any ripping during the coloring process. This is especially important if you’ll be using it during a car ride, where the drawing surface may not always be stable.
For traveling, storage compartment clipboards are a great way to keep all your coloring and activity supplies together.
