A little about this puzzle

In a school paleontology model laboratory, a teacher guides a boy measuring a three-toed footprint fossil tile with a ruler while a girl watches. An open notebook rests on the left, a round sieve leans against the sand box, a curved tooth cast lies inside a specimen tray, a magnifying glass rests at the front, and a Triceratops model stands on the right shelf. Targets: Footprint fossil tile, Ruler, Research notebook, Round sieve, Specimen tray, Dinosaur tooth cast, Triceratops model, Magnifying glass. Color: clean cartoon contours and bright natural colors show the teaching scene. Line art: the same scene and clue icons remain as black outlines for coloring. Answer key: only target objects and their matching clue icons are colored, while people and the background remain black and white. Choose the Color or Line art image, use the picture clues to find each object, and keep the Answer key separate until you are ready to check. The three images can be printed or saved as PDF using your browser.
