Separate decoration from the route

Observe long tails, necks, crests and footprints, while locating the start and finish separately. Theme details can surround the route; follow the passages rather than using part of the illustration as a shortcut.

After the activity

Distinguish what an illustration shows from what a footprint can tell you; a decorative picture is not a scientific reconstruction. Observe dinosaur silhouettes and compare necks, tails and other visible features.

Backtrack to the last decision

If you reach a dead end, return to the last junction and try another branch. A pencil lets you correct your route without obscuring the passages. When finished, follow your line from start to finish to check that it does not jump over a wall.
