HATCHING A DRAGON CHICK

WHERES THE DRAGON LAIR?
The first step toward interacting with a dragon is to find one. Dragons tend to be reclusive,
so this can be challenging. Draw a map of your home and the streets and areas around it.
Mark any places that might conceal a dragon lair.

Be sure to
mark any:

Areas with
high grass

Castles

Caves

Hillsides

Hollow trees

Icebergs

Ponds

Rocky areas

Rooftops
Sand dunes

Wells

Remember, if you find a dragon, keep its lair a secret from

anyone who might wish it harm!

SPOT THE DINOSAUR
Imagine that you have landed on a remote island off the coast of South America where colonies
of prehistoric beasts still roam. Your expedition team comes across a watering hole, and all of a
sudden you see a living, breathing dinosaur! Is it a large diplodocus? Or an armored triceratops?
Maybe even the king of all dinosaurs, the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex?

On this page of your observation journal, identify the species of dinosaur and draw it.

Remember, there could be a predator nearby, so dont get too close!
