kayaking


I just learned to kayak this week and now Sophie’s giving it a try. It’s hard work! But it’s nice and quiet and calm – and that’s just why the native people near the arctic circle invented kayaks about 4,000 years ago. Being so quiet made hunting easier! Now people mostly kayak for fun. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Desert Island


I always thought a desert island was what all of the pictures of tropical paradise islands with sand and palm trees. Turns out I was wrong! Desert islands are deserted islands, meaning no one lives on them. They sure do look restful.

shark!


Wow – good think Sophie and Sadie are safe in their boat! Not all sharks attack people, but I don’t think I want to take the chance. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

tire swing!


Wow – this is really a fun swing! Don’t you wish you were on it with Sophie and Sadie? There are so many old tires that are starting to be recycled in very cool ways – as tire swings, of course!, and also under playgrounds to make the ground softer and more bouncy and also mixed into the asphalt on highways to make them last longer.

swinging


It’s summer where we live – and that means playing in the park and swinging on the swing set! I wonder if Sadie is going to get to swing next?! It is so cool that there are drawings of women and kids swinging on swing sets on ancient Greek vases.

Cows


Did you know that cows can walk up stairs, but they can’t walk down stairs? It’s the way their knees are designed. So cool! Also, cows are like people. They like being together, and sometimes they like the other cows in their herd and sometimes they don’t!

Sandal store


So many choices! Which sandals do you think Sophie will pick?! Sandals are the very first kind of shoes that people ever made and wore. The oldest ones that have been found are 10,000 years old! They were found in Oregon in the US. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Crested Saguaro


Grandpa Al looks pretty cranky, but he’s’pretty fun! Crested Saguaros are very rare – scientists don’t know what causes the cresting – maybe lighting, maybe freeze damage – but it sure is cool!  I think it makes them look like cauliflower.
