How to print these coloring pages

To get started, simply click on any dinosaur image in the gallery above. It will open full-size in a new tab, allowing you to print directly from your browser. These pages are formatted for standard 8.5x11 inch (or A4) paper, but for a more robust coloring experience, especially with markers, consider using a slightly heavier cardstock. For crisp lines, make sure your printer ink levels are good, and select a 'best quality' or 'photo' setting if available in your printer options.

Coloring tips

These dinosaur coloring pages are perfect for children aged 3 to 10, offering a range of details that can be approached in many ways. Encourage your child to experiment! Crayons are wonderful for broad strokes and filling in large areas, while markers can bring vibrant, bold colors to life. Colored pencils are fantastic for adding texture to scales, skin, or the surrounding jungle foliage. There's no 'right' color for a dinosaur – a purple T-Rex or a polka-dotted Stegosaurus is a sign of a truly imaginative mind! Starting with the largest shapes, like the sky or ground, can help set the scene before moving to the dinosaurs themselves. For more creative ideas, explore our story prompts for young writers. And if your child loves bringing dinosaurs to life with color, they might also enjoy crafting their own unique dinosaur adventures – Inky lets them create a full, illustrated story for free.
