Monorail Speeding Toward You on a High Concrete Beam

A sleek monorail train races toward the viewer on a raised concrete guideway, drawn from a high angle so the long beam stretches back into the distance. The front car has a rounded nose, two big windshield panels, a small rectangular headlight and a tiny side light. Tall support pillars hold up the track, and a bumpy, cloud-shaped outline of bushes or trees wraps around the base. Thin lines run out ahead of the train to show the track. Kids can color the train in bright stripes and use greens for the bushes below. It also works well for a talk about how elevated trains travel above streets and traffic. The large open shapes are easy for small hands to fill in with markers or crayons, and you can print it free for home or class.
