Diego Swinging on a Jungle Vine

A smiling boy with spiky, tousled hair swings through the air while holding onto a long curving vine with one hand. His other arm stretches out with the fingers spread wide, and his mouth is open as if he is calling out. He wears a short-sleeved collared shirt with a vest or straps over it, cargo-style pants with pockets, wrapped cuffs at the ankles, and chunky sneakers. One foot kicks forward while the other trails behind. A few small leaves hang from the vine near the bottom left, and the whole scene sits inside a square border. The shapes are big and clear, which makes this page easy for younger kids to color. Try green and brown shades for the vine and leaves, then pick out different colors for the vest, shirt, and shoes. Once it is finished, you could ask kids to tell a short story about where the swing is taking him.
