Imagine a world where dinosaurs roam among volcanoes, mountains, and ancient forests!
What did Earth look like millions of years ago? What kinds of dinosaurs existed? How did they move, and what did they eat?
PicTub “Dinosaurs” brings the fascination of prehistoric life into a creative activity where children can explore different creatures and landscapes while developing their own stories.
The poster features a detailed illustration filled with dinosaurs of various shapes, flying reptiles, ancient vegetation, mountains, and volcanoes.
Children can begin with their favourite dinosaur, continue with the plants and mountains, or explore the many smaller details hidden throughout the scene.
A giant poster that becomes a prehistoric adventure
PicTub offers more than an ordinary colouring page.
Its generous format allows children to explore the illustration gradually, without having to complete the entire picture in one sitting.
The poster can be spread out on the floor, placed on a table, or attached to a wall using the included adhesive, after checking that the surface is suitable.
Children can return to their artwork whenever they wish, discovering new details and gradually completing the prehistoric landscape.
Once finished, the poster can become a personalised decoration for their room.
What's included in the PicTub Dinosaurs set?
-
One giant dinosaur-themed colouring poster.
-
A set of 12 washable markers.
-
Special adhesive for attaching the poster to suitable surfaces.
-
A tube for storing and carrying the artwork.
The markers are described as washable from most fabrics, while the adhesive is designed for convenient attachment and removal. Results may vary depending on the fabric or surface, so testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended.
How can children enjoy PicTub Dinosaurs?
The poster offers many opportunities for creative activities:
-
Prehistoric adventure: invent a story about the dinosaurs shown in the illustration.
-
Family colouring session: each participant chooses a section of the poster.
-
Dinosaur discovery: observe and compare the different prehistoric creatures.
-
Creative workshop: work together on a large illustrated scene.
-
Personalised decoration: display the finished poster in a suitable space.
-
Colouring over several days: complete a different section each day.
There is no single correct way to colour the scene. Children can use their imagination to create a prehistoric world of their own.
What skills can children practise through colouring?
-
Fine motor skills, by controlling markers and colouring detailed areas.
-
Hand-eye coordination, by following the outlines of the illustration.
-
Attention and concentration, while exploring the many details.
-
Creativity, through their own choices and interpretations.
-
Patience and persistence, by gradually completing a larger project.
-
Language and storytelling, by describing dinosaurs and inventing adventures.
-
Communication and cooperation, when working on the poster together with others.
Discovering dinosaurs through creative play
The illustration can also inspire conversations about prehistoric animals and Earth's distant past.
Parents can ask questions such as “Which dinosaur has the longest neck?”, “What do you think this dinosaur ate?”, “How did dinosaurs protect themselves?” or “Which animals living today remind you of dinosaurs?”.
Children can make predictions and then explore the answers through books and other educational resources.
The poster is an artistic interpretation of prehistoric life rather than an exact scientific reconstruction of a particular time period.
A shared creative activity
Thanks to its large format, several children or family members can colour the poster at the same time.
One person can work on the dinosaurs, another on the plants, and someone else on the volcanoes and mountains.
Every contribution becomes part of the same creative project.
A keepsake to enjoy after colouring
Once finished, the poster can be displayed or carefully rolled up and stored in its tube.
Children can revisit their artwork and remember the time they spent creating their prehistoric world.
Important: young children should use the markers and adhesive with adult supervision. Before attaching the poster to a wall, test the adhesive on an inconspicuous area.
PicTub “Dinosaurs” invites children to explore an imaginary prehistoric world through colouring, where creativity and curiosity bring dinosaurs and ancient landscapes to life.
