Fun Activity Sheets!!!

Hope you're having a great summer!

But just in case the kids are getting a little restless– we whipped up some fun activity sheets that should keep them busy for at least 10 minutes. You can download the sheets and print them out, or you could download and import them into your favorite drawing/painting program.

 

Don't you just love these spot-the-differences games?!?! I sure do! As you can probably see, I got pretty into this one. Inspired by classic cartoons, I let the whacky environment act as a perfect wonderland for hiding all of the differences. There are 12 in all, and I will be honest- this one's a bit of a challenge!

Not to worry if you get stumped, there's a link to the answers right there with the download.

The first one is a classic maze. I tinkered with it for quite a while to make it look pretty confusing at first glance, but not too incredibly difficult for future maze experts. And even if you get lost along the way, there is plenty to see on your worm tunnel journey. Which leads us to the bonus game! Find all the fun underground (for the most part) items on the list.

As an additional activity, I left the maze page black and white so you can have fun coloring all the little nooks and crannies. Enjoy, and send us a pic of your finished masterpiece to be featured on the News feed! Just email a pic to Jose@JoseLucio.com or mention us on Instagram @_jose_lucio_

A month and a half later.... still touring and going strong!

Writing you from beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico! I've got about 2 weeks left of tour and a few days off here to explore the awe-inspiring landscape of the southwest. 

Let's see... what's happened since the last big update? Well, quite a bit. I had just met up with Dan (Free Rain author) and we were still hanging out in Seattle at my last posting. After that we had 4 stops in Oregon where I got a new drawing satchel from Black Star Bags (pretty big deal for me); spent 3 weeks in California driving all up and down coastal highways, mountain passes, and boardwalk breezeways; cruised the sunset strip in an 80s camaro; camped out on the Big Sur beach and watched shooting stars; had my first visit ever to Las Vegas; visited Meow Wolf; Dan flew back to Seattle from Albuquerque; and today I woke up in Balloon Fiesta Park to see hot air balloons floating across the morning horizon. Blessed? Yes!

Here's the journey in pictures that shows the details. Enjoy!

Cross country trek (the first 3 weeks of tour)

worm bridge

So we're three weeks into our 10 week tour. Things have been so good and we are running strong! We kicked off with two days at the Decatur Book Festival. Then had two gigs in Nashville where I got to catch up with friends that I haven't seen in at least 15 years. From there hopped over to Southern Illinois where I performed for 400 students! Caught up with friends in Kansas City. Hit the Kansas Book Festival, then headed to my hometown of Hutchinson, KS. Lucky for me the Kansas State Fair was happening so I got to indulge in some fun memories from my childhood. Then hopped the western border over to Colorado for three gigs and time catching up with friends. Saw my first snow for the trip, rode an old coal train, and spent lots of time exploring the mountains. Leaving Colorado I camped on the canyon's edge for a night. Woke up and drove through the lands where dinosaurs once roamed in Utah. Made my way up to the Grand Tetons where I hiked around Jenny Lake. Cruised on up to Yellowstone where I fell in love with all the bubbling geysers, so much so that I didn't make it to campsite until really late. Woke up in Montana and had a great visit with 140 first graders. Said goodbye to Montana and drove all day to get to Seattle where we've teamed up with Dan, the writer of Free Rain. We only have one gig here, so it's allowed me some time to rest a bit and catch up on some "office" work.

I'll touch base again after I wrap up with the next couple weeks in Oregon and California. Thanks for following my time on the road!

Free Rain review from The Caterpillar Corner

"Free Rain is an impactful story with a powerful message. I love that Daniel Wentzel and Jose Lucio want to engage kids in a dialogue about the treatment of animals and where food comes from, whether that’s the chickens themselves or their eggs."
