Smiling Number 1 Steam Engine Pulling Two Carriages

A little steam engine with a friendly smiling face on its boiler front rolls along a curving track, pulling two passenger carriages behind it. The engine has a big number 1 on its side, a tall funnel puffing steam, a round cab window, and two black buffers at the front. Puffy clouds of smoke or steam line the track, and the carriages have rows of narrow windows. Around the train you can see grassy hills, a pointy evergreen tree, a small bush with daisy-like flowers in the corner, a few stones, and a big sun with rays in the sky. Try coloring the engine in one bold color so the number 1 stands out, then ask kids to pick different colors for each carriage. It also works well for counting practice: count the windows, clouds, and flowers. The printable page has plenty of open space for crayons or markers.
