Dinosaur coloring pages: ten dinosaurs

Tyrannosaurus

Tap a color, then part of the picture. With a keyboard: focus the picture, use the arrow keys and press Enter.

Pick a dinosaur, color it with a tap or print it. Each picture comes with a short note, so coloring turns into a small dinosaur lesson.

The word dinosaur means terrible lizard. The English scientist Richard Owen made up the name in 1842.

Nobody knows exactly what color dinosaurs were, so choose freely: green, brown, orange or striped.

Tyrannosaurus: One of the biggest meat eaters. It had a huge head and tiny front legs with two fingers.
Triceratops: It had three horns and a big bony frill around its neck, and it ate plants.
Stegosaurus: It had bony plates along its back and sharp spikes on its tail.
Brachiosaurus: Its front legs were longer than its back legs, so it held its head high and ate leaves from treetops.
Pterodactyl: It was not a dinosaur but a flying reptile from the same time, with wings made of skin.
Ankylosaurus: Its back was covered in bony plates, and its tail ended in a heavy bony club.
Baby dinosaur hatching: Dinosaurs hatched from eggs, just like birds and turtles today.
Parasaurolophus: It had a long hollow crest on its head that it may have used to make sounds.
Spinosaurus: It had a tall sail on its back and a long snout, and it hunted fish.
Dinosaur and volcano: Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 160 million years.
