Classroom & Home Ideas
- Canyon road map. Color the cars and canyon road, then draw a route line from the canyon entrance to the overlook.
- Mountain layer study. Use a different shade for each mountain ridge behind the lodge or cabins. Compare how light and dark colors make ridges appear closer or farther away.
- Park postcard. Color a mountain lake, canyon, or forest cabin scene. Add a postcard message on the back describing the pictured landscape.
- Wildlife lake display. Color the geese family beside the mountain lake, then label the water, shore, forest, and mountains.
- Sunrise color chart. Color the sunrise over the mountain range with bands of yellow, orange, pink, and blue. Write the color order below the picture.
- River habitat mural. Join several colored river, canyon, and forest valley pages along a classroom wall. Add paper labels for cliffs, trees, water, roads, and cabins.
