Dinosaur Coloring Pages for Kids Who Know Every Dinosaur Name

There's a particular kind of kid who has strong opinions about the difference between a Triceratops and a Pentaceratops, and if you're the parent of one, you already know that "here's a coloring page of a generic dinosaur" doesn't really land. They want the real ones, with the right number of horns.

The lineup

Our Dinosaurs category is built around actual, specific dinosaurs rather than one-size-fits-all designs. Triceratops in the Ferns and Round Stegosaurus cover the classic plant-eaters — Round Stegosaurus is the simpler of the two, a good starting point for a younger kid, while Triceratops in the Ferns has more background detail for someone who likes to take their time.

For the long-necked crowd, Brachiosaurus in the Treetops has the sauropod stretching up into a prehistoric canopy, with a smoking volcano in the background for good measure. Parasaurolophus Family Walk shows a whole group together, which tends to be a hit with kids who like to give every dinosaur its own color scheme.

If your kid is more into the ones with teeth, Raptor Jungle Pack and Raptor in the Tall Grass both feature raptors in their natural habit of traveling in groups, Spinosaurus Fishing shows one mid-hunt by the water, and Pterodactyl Over the Volcano covers the flying (technically not dinosaur, we know, but nobody under age eight is checking) side of things. Swimming Plesiosaur and Round Ankylosaurus round things out for kids who want the sea-dwellers and the armored tank-like ones, respectively. And for anyone who wants to start right at the beginning, Baby Dino Hatching is exactly what it sounds like.

Color it, print it, argue about accuracy

Every page opens straight into our in-browser coloring studio, free, with no account required — or print it out if your kid prefers a physical page (and a physical argument about whether a Stegosaurus's plates were actually that color). Pages are tagged by age range and difficulty, so if you're not sure where to start, the simpler, rounder designs like Round Stegosaurus and Round Ankylosaurus are the easiest entry point before moving on to the more detailed scenes.
