Roley and Friends Under the Yard Shelter

Two chunky construction machines sit under an open roof with tiled edges and wooden posts. Behind them is a brick wall, and the background shows houses with chimneys. The machine at the back looks like Roley the steamroller, with a big roller drum, a cab on top and a frowning face with wide eyes. In front is a tractor-style machine with a wide roller drum, sleepy half-closed eyes, a grille mouth and large wheels. At the lower left, a small wheeled character with a headband stares up with its mouth open. Try coloring the brick wall in several warm shades and the machines in bold, contrasting colors. For a learning twist, ask kids to guess how each character feels from its eyes and mouth. The page is free to print and has plenty of large, open areas for crayons.
