Dune Jumper monster truck doing a wheelie on a rocky dirt hill with VROOM smoke

Dune Jumper Pops a Wheelie

Dune Jumper climbs a rutted dirt slope on giant treaded tires, kicking up pebbles as a smoky VROOM bursts behind it.

🎨 How to color it

Color Dune Jumper cherry red, the number 7 sunny yellow, the rocky hill sandy tan, and the VROOM smoke pale gray. The truck has big open panels for chunky crayons, while the tire treads and scattered pebbles can simply get a few dark stripes if your child wants details. Try making the flames on the front fade from yellow to orange so the climbing truck feels warm against a soft blue sky.

Why Dune Tires Wiggle — At Sandbar Slope, Tavi pressed one tire, then another, into the warm, gritty track. Read the full story →

At Sandbar Slope, Tavi pressed one tire, then another, into the warm, gritty track. He wanted to reach the top before sunset, but the hill slid back with a hush-hush sound each time he hurried.

Halfway up, a tiny wind-snail peeked from a pebble hole. “Wait for my wiggle,” it whispered, smelling of dust and rain. Tavi waited. The snail curled left, then right, and the sand tucked itself under Tavi’s tires like a soft blanket. Up he rolled—slow, steady, vroom.

Ever since then, dune tires have carried wiggly treads, so they can listen to sand before they climb. Can you find the patient wiggles on Tavi’s tires at warm, gritty Sandbar Slope?
