In this picture

A prehistoric flyer stands with its wings folded along its sides. Its long pointed beak extends left, while a narrow crest sweeps backward above the head. Small clawed feet support the upright figure. Thin inner lines divide the folded wing membranes from the arms, leaving the surrounding page completely blank.

easy difficulty
The upright body is open, but the long beak, narrow crest and folded wing edges create slim shapes.
Skills to try
  • Following tapering outlines: The beak and crest gradually narrow to points on opposite sides of the head.
Suggested age: About 5–7 years
The few large surfaces are approachable, though the pointed ends need slower strokes. This is a suggestion; comfort with the shapes matters more than age.
