Dinosaurs Coloring Pages

This dinosaur set includes some of the best-known prehistoric animals: a tall long-necked plant eater, a Stegosaurus with plates on its back, a Triceratops with its horns and frill, a roaring Tyrannosaurus, and an armored Ankylosaurus with a club on its tail. There is also a nest with a baby hatching out of its egg, and a small dinosaur grazing at the foot of a smoking volcano.

The drawings are friendly cartoon versions, not scientific reconstructions, with big rounded bodies and smiling faces that make them easy for young children to color. The Triceratops, the volcano scene, and the egg nest have a few more pieces for kids who want something more involved.

Dinosaurs are a great way into talking about fossils, deep time, and how scientists figure things out from bones. Nobody knows for sure what color most dinosaurs were, so kids can choose any colors they like and still be right.
