What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, you will find a large, smiling mother dinosaur and her tiny baby companion. The mother is accessorized with a wide-brimmed hat and a delicate pearl necklace, making her the most stylish dinosaur in the valley. The words MOM-a-saurus are written in bold, bubbly letters right above them. The background features a large sun setting behind the horizon, casting light over a lush environment. You can also spot various tropical leaves, thick bushes, and scattered rocks on the ground where the family is walking. Every element is drawn with clear lines that are perfect for staying inside the edges.

Coloring Tips

To make the mother dinosaur stand out, try using soft pastel shades like lavender or mint green. For her pearl necklace, a light touch of yellow or silver can give them a shimmering effect. The sun looks beautiful when filled with vibrant oranges and yellows to create a sunset atmosphere. Since there are many tropical leaves and bushes, using different shades of green will add depth to the prehistoric forest. The MOM-a-saurus text is a great place to use bright, contrasting colors like hot pink or bright blue to make the title pop off the page. You might even use markers for the text and crayons for the background to create different textures.

Did You Know?

Did you know there is a real dinosaur named Maiasaura? The name actually means "good mother lizard." Scientists discovered these dinosaurs lived in large colonies and took very good care of their babies in nests, just like the mother in this picture. It was one of the first times researchers realized that some dinosaurs were very nurturing parents who stayed with their hatchlings.

Try This!

After finishing the coloring, you could turn this page into a special card for a mother or grandmother. You might also try writing a short story about where this dinosaur family is going on their afternoon walk. Another fun idea is to count all the different leaves and rocks hidden throughout the background to practice simple math skills while having fun.
