Tank Engine Number 1 Chugging Past Rabbits and Birds

A little steam engine with a friendly smiling face and the number 1 on its side rolls along a track toward the viewer, pulling two passenger carriages. Puffs of steam billow from the funnel and along the track, and a wooden fence runs beside the rails. On the grassy hillside to the right, two rabbits nibble near the edge of the slope while two small birds flutter nearby. A flowering bush, a patch of leafy plants, rolling hills and a sun with long rays fill out the background. The big cloud shapes and wide carriage panels are easy to fill in for younger kids, while the flower petals and fence posts give older kids smaller areas to work on. Try coloring the engine in a bold color first, then pick softer greens for the hills so the train stands out. This free page also works well for talking about animals that live near the countryside.
