What's In This Picture

As you look at this page, you will see a happy dinosaur positioned right in the center of the action. Its smooth, rounded body and expressive face make it the star of the show. To the side, a textured tree stump shows off its rings and rough bark, adding a touch of nature to the foreground. Scattered around the dinosaur's feet are clumps of lush grass and several large rocks that ground the scene. You will also notice beautiful ferns with their distinct fronds reaching out toward the edges of the clearing. In the distance, the outlines of tall trees create a sense of depth, making the forest feel vast and full of secrets waiting to be discovered by your favorite crayons or markers.

Coloring Tips

Since this is a cheerful cartoon scene, you can use a wide variety of bright and bold colors. For the dinosaur, consider using shades of leafy green or even sunny yellow to match its happy personality. You might want to use different shades of brown and tan for the tree stump and the rocks to make them look more realistic. The ferns and grass look wonderful when colored with several different greens, like lime and emerald, to show how lush the forest is. If you want to add some extra detail, try using light pressure with a blue pencil to create a soft sky behind the tall trees. This page has moderate line density, so it works well with both thick crayons and fine-tipped markers.

Did You Know?

Did you know that some dinosaurs were actually quite small, even smaller than a modern chicken? While many people think of dinosaurs as being giant monsters, many species were friendly herbivores that spent their days munching on ferns and grass just like the one in this picture. These plants have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and still grow in many forests today!

Try This!

After you finish coloring, you can name your new dinosaur friend and write a short story about where it is going on its walk. You might also enjoy looking outside to find different types of rocks or grass that look like the ones in the clearing. It is a fun way to connect the prehistoric world with the nature you see every day.
