Dinosaur Coloring Pages

Varieties and Skill Levels

This collection offers different styles for every artist. The simple cute dinosaur design has thick outlines and wide open spaces, which work best for toddlers learning pencil control. Older kids and adults can spend more time on the detailed volcano scene, shading individual scales and distant smoke clouds.

Coloring Tips for Prehistoric Scenes

No one knows for sure what skin colors most prehistoric reptiles had, so you can choose any palette you like. Crayons and colored pencils give you great control for shading the crest on a Parasaurolophus or adding texture to dark skin. For dramatic scenes like an erupting volcano, try combining bright orange and yellow markers for the lava with dark gray colored pencils for the ash cloud.

Ideas for Your Finished Pages

• Use green, brown, and gray tones to make the skin look realistic.
• Add bright red and orange around the volcano top for a sudden eruption effect.
• Cut out the finished figures to make prehistoric bedroom decorations.
• Glue green tissue paper onto the background to create ancient jungle plants.
