Dora and Friends Help Boots Blow Out the Candle

Dora and her animal friends crowd around a birthday cake with one lit candle while Boots the monkey, wearing a crown and a star party hat, scrunches his eyes and puffs out his cheeks to blow it out. Dora reaches a hand toward the cake. A bull, a small buck-toothed critter holding a party horn, and a smiling dolphin all wear pom-pom party hats. Two banners across the top read Happy Birthday and Joyeux Anniversaire, and balloons and confetti fill the background. The two languages make this a nice page for a bilingual classroom or a French practice lesson. Kids can color the banner letters in alternating colors, then read both greetings out loud. It is free to print, and the big open shapes on the hats and balloons suit crayons or markers.
