It’s almost Christmas—but Sylvester the elf hasn’t finished painting the gifts. No problem: If all the elves at the North Pole get out their brushes, and you start pulling the tabs, the stuffed giraffe will become yellow and bright, the drums will turn blue, and the fire truck will gleam with a fresh coat of red. Now, the elves have just one more thing to do before Santa flies into the sky: paint his sleigh a rainbow of colors. Soon Santa’s off with a ho, ho, ho and a merry Christmas to all.

As children trace a clear path for the sauruses, they€™ll also learn lots of fun dino facts.
