Dinosaurs Coloring Pages

Named species, not generic lizards

Each book focuses on a species or a small group, drawn with the features that make it recognisable: the plates down a stegosaurus back, the three horns on a triceratops, the long neck on an apatosaurus. There are also flying reptiles, pteranodons and pterodactyls, fossil and dig-site pages, and full prehistoric scenes.

Dinosaur topics that already have momentum

A dinosaur unit rarely needs selling. Printable dinosaur coloring sheets extend it: colour the species being discussed, write its name underneath, and pin the set up in order of size. Children who will not write a sentence will happily label a drawing.

Any colour is defensible

Nobody knows what colour dinosaurs were, and telling a class that changes the activity. A pink stegosaurus is no less likely than a green one, and the conversation about how we know some things and not others is worth more than the page.
