35 Free Dinosaur Coloring Pages to Print

35 free printables Any paper size 300 dpi No sign-up

A stegosaurus standing in a pond, a pterodactyl over a cliff, a T-Rex who looks pleased with himself, and one wearing a hard hat for reasons the drawing does not explain. These are cute dinosaur coloring pages rather than museum plates: round eyes, no teeth on display, nothing that needs a hall light left on afterwards.

Click any drawing to print it. The sheet opens in a new tab and the print dialog does the rest, with every paper size your printer offers. Prefer a batch? Tap + on each drawing you want, then print the whole pile in one go from your pile.

The species are still recognizable, which matters more than it sounds. A four-year-old who has learned the difference between a stegosaurus and an ankylosaurus will tell you about it at length, and a sheet that gets the plates and the tail club right is a sheet worth printing. All of these printable dinosaur coloring pages are free and are 300 dpi PDFs and print on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included. No account, no email address, no watermark across the tail.

What you will find on this page

The species are drawn as species, not as generic lizards. A stegosaurus with its plates, an ankylosaurus with its club tail, a spinosaurus by the reeds, a long-necked plant eater drinking from a pond, pterodactyls over a cliff, and a T. rex standing in water looking pleased with itself.

Then there are the ones with jobs. A dinosaur in a suit and top hat building a sandcastle. One in an apron mixing a bowl. One in a hard hat with a flashlight exploring a cave full of stalactites. Another wears glasses in a greenhouse. One gives a thumbs up.

Nothing here has its teeth out. Even the T. rex is smiling, which is the point of the collection.

Easy dinosaur coloring pages for toddlers

The single dinosaurs in grass are the simplest. One long body, four legs, a tail and a few plants, and a very young child can fill the body in one color and be finished. The mother-and-baby sheets work well at this age too, because a child understands the pair immediately.

Plates, scales and jungle scenes for older children

The stegosaurus plates and the ankylosaurus armor are drawn one at a time, which turns a five-minute sheet into a twenty-minute one. The jungle backgrounds are the busiest part of the page: palm fronds, ferns, coconut trees, a volcano erupting behind. If that density is the appeal, the dragon coloring pages have scales and hoards, and the monster coloring pages share several of the same creatures.

Learning the names

Because the species are recognizable, this page does real work with a child who has just learned the words. Print the stegosaurus, the ankylosaurus, the spinosaurus and the pterodactyl, and let them tell you which is which. They will be right more often than you are.

What to do with them once they are colored

Cut out four dinosaurs, fold a flap at the feet so they stand, and the table becomes a jungle. A green tablecloth helps and nothing else is needed.

The pterodactyls work hanging from thread, since they are already drawn flying. And a child who colors the volcano sheet will want to explain the eruption to somebody, so have five minutes ready.

Printing your dinosaur coloring pages

Are these dinosaur coloring pages free?

Yes. Open the PDF, print it, color it. No account, no email address, nothing stamped across the artwork.

Which dinosaurs are on this page?

Stegosaurus, triceratops, ankylosaurus, spinosaurus, T-Rex, pterodactyl and several long-necked sauropods. A few are doing things no dinosaur did, like wearing goggles or cooking in an apron, which tends to be the ones children pick first.

Are they realistic or cartoon?

Cartoon, deliberately. The proportions are rounded and nothing is baring its teeth. The plates, spikes and tail clubs are drawn accurately enough to name, so a child who wants to be correct about species still can be.

Is there a simple one for a toddler?

Several. The single dinosaur standing in tall grass or a pond is a handful of large closed shapes. The jungle scenes have foliage behind them and suit an older child.

What paper size should I print on?

Any size at all. More settings in the print dialog lists what your printer supports, and the dinosaur is drawn to fit it at 300 dpi. Tabloid is worth trying for a T-Rex.

Can I print a class set for a dinosaur unit?

Yes, and it is one of the units these get used for most. Print what the room needs without asking us. Reselling the files is the only thing off limits.
