About These Dinosaur Coloring Pages

Whether you’re planning a dinosaur-themed afternoon or just want a relaxing page to color, this collection offers a range of prehistoric favorites you can print anytime.

A variety of dinosaurs and scenes

You’ll find everything from classic dinosaurs (T. rex, stegosaurus, triceratops, and brontosaurus-style long necks) to pterosaurs soaring overhead and underwater creatures in simple ocean scenes. Some pages focus on one large dinosaur with big shapes that are easy to color, while others include extra details like footprints, bones, eggs, and jungle plants for a more involved project.

Great for kids, classrooms, and grown-ups

For younger kids and early learners, look for pages with thicker lines and open spaces that work well with crayons and beginner coloring skills. Older kids and adults may prefer pages with patterned scales, layered landscapes, and more background elements that invite shading and color blending. Teachers can use these pages for units on fossils, habitats, and comparing herbivores and carnivores.

Easy ways to use these printables

These pages are handy for:

  • Quiet time, rainy days, and screen-free breaks
  • Dinosaur birthday party activities and favor-table stations
  • Classroom centers, sub plans, or early finisher folders
  • Calming coloring sessions for teens and adults

Printing tips for best results

Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “Actual size”) for clean outlines. Standard letter paper works well, but slightly heavier paper can help prevent marker bleed-through. If you’re using markers, place a spare sheet underneath and test colors in a corner first. For sharing, consider printing a few different difficulty levels so everyone can pick a page that feels just right.
