A Prehistoric Variety of Dinosaur Coloring Pages

Because dinosaurs come in so many incredible shapes and sizes, we have ensured our dinosaur coloring pages are just as diverse! We know that toddlers and preschoolers often prefer friendly, cartoonish dinosaurs.

Dino-Mite Facts to Share While You Color

The best part about dinosaurs is that they were completely real! While you are picking out the perfect greens, browns, and earthy tones for your dinosaur coloring pages, share these mind-blowing prehistoric facts with your family:

• Feathered Friends: Did you know that many dinosaurs were actually covered in feathers, not just scales? Scientists now believe that the mighty T-Rex might have had a coat of feathers, making them look like giant, scary chickens! Keep this in mind when picking colors for your dinosaur coloring pages.
• Tiny Brains: The Stegosaurus, famous for the large plates on its back and the spikes on its tail, was a massive creature. However, despite being the size of a bus, its brain was only about the size of a walnut or a small dog's brain!
• Longest Necks: The Sauropods (like the Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus) had the longest necks of any animal to ever exist. Their necks could reach up to 50 feet long, allowing them to eat from the very tops of the tallest ancient trees.
• Bird Relatives: Dinosaurs aren't entirely extinct! Modern birds are actually the direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs. So, every time you see a pigeon or a chicken, you are looking at a distant cousin of a Velociraptor.

Creative Ways to Bring Your Dinosaur Coloring Pages to Life

When you print out our dinosaur coloring pages, you are the boss of the prehistoric world! Because no one knows for absolute certain what colors dinosaurs actually were, you have complete creative freedom. Who says a T-Rex can't be bright blue with orange stripes? Use your dinosaur coloring pages to let your imagination run wild.

If you want to take your artwork to the next level, try adding textures. You can use the side of a crayon over a piece of sandpaper or a rough leaf to give the skin on your dinosaur coloring pages a truly scaly, reptilian feel. Once finished, these dinosaur coloring pages make fantastic posters for a child's bedroom or awesome covers for school science folders.
