Ten dinosaurs to color
One picture a page, in black and white, kind to printers. Some dinosaurs have two pictures: the second one has a few more small shapes. Tap a picture to open its page.
Tyrannosaurus rex
Say it: tie-RAN-oh-SORE-us rex
It could eat up to 230 kilograms of meat and bones in one bite!
Triceratops
Say it: try-SERR-a-tops
A nose horn sharp enough to cut wood? Probably! And a head the size of a small car.
Triceratops up close
Say it: try-SERR-a-tops
Count the horns: two long ones over the eyes and a short one on the nose.
Stegosaurus
Say it: STEG-oh-SORE-us
A big, spiky dinosaur with a tiny head, like a walnut.
Spinosaurus
Say it: SPINE-oh-SORE-us
Even bigger than T. rex, and it could swim like a crocodile!
Spinosaurus on the move
Say it: SPINE-oh-SORE-us
That tall sail on its back is a row of long bones covered in skin. Make it bright!
Brachiosaurus
Say it: BRAK-ee-oh-SORE-us
Up to 400 kilograms of plants a day, with only 50 teeth or less!
Apatosaurus
Say it: ah-PAT-oh-SORE-us
Up to 23 meters long. And no, it isn't a Brontosaurus.
Velociraptor
Say it: vel-OSS-ee-rap-tor
It had feathers! Draw some on its arms, then color it in.
Velociraptor running
Say it: vel-OSS-ee-rap-tor
Small, like a big turkey, but very fast!
Dilophosaurus
Say it: die-LOAF-oh-SORE-us
Poisonous? Some people think so, but there's no evidence for that.
Dilophosaurus walking
Say it: die-LOAF-oh-SORE-us
Two thin crests on its head gave it its name: two crested lizard.
Ankylosaurus
Say it: an-KYE-low-SORE-us
Armored like a knight, powerful as a tank, with a club on its tail.
Ankylosaurus on the move
Say it: an-KYE-low-SORE-us
Lots of round armor plates to color: one color each, or a pattern? More small shapes, for older children.
Carnotaurus
Say it: kar-noh-TORE-us
One of the fastest dinosaurs, with remarkably short arms.
Carnotaurus running
Say it: kar-noh-TORE-us
Two horns like a bull: its name means meat-eating bull. More small shapes, for older children.

Dinosaurs Are Back
Spike, a young Triceratops, meets all ten of these dinosaurs while he searches for his stolen egg brother. In the book each one climbs off its page and into your room, through a phone or tablet.
Baby dinosaurs and dinosaur scenes
A baby hatching, two babies in a nest and two whole scenes with a volcano, palm trees and ferns.
A baby dinosaur hatching
Every dinosaur started life in an egg. What will you call this one?
Two babies in a nest
Two baby dinosaurs hatching side by side. Which one came out first? More small shapes, for older children.
Dinosaurs by the volcano
A long neck and a Triceratops, a smoking volcano and two palm trees: a whole world to color. More small shapes, for older children.
A mother and her baby
A long-necked mother and her baby walk past a little volcano. Color the sun too. More small shapes, for older children.

Quick answers
Are these dinosaur coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is a free PDF in US Letter and A4, with no email and no account, free for home and classroom use. To share them, please share the link to this page rather than the files.
What age are they for?
Ages 4 to 8. Most pictures have big, simple shapes for little hands. The two scenes, the nest and the second picture of a few dinosaurs have more small shapes, for older children or careful colorers.
Are the dinosaurs drawn right?
They are friendly cartoons, but we checked the parts that matter: two fingers on each T. rex arm, four spikes on the Stegosaurus tail, three horns on the Triceratops, the sail on the Spinosaurus. Each card links to that dinosaur's fact page if you want to know more.
Did Velociraptor have feathers?
Yes. Scientists found little bumps on a Velociraptor arm bone where feathers were attached. Our coloring page leaves them out on purpose, so your child can draw the feathers on before coloring.
Can my child color on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Pick a picture and a color, then tap a shape to fill it. You can undo, start over, save the picture on your device or print it. Nothing is saved on our side or sent anywhere.
Are these pictures from your book?
No. We made these coloring pictures for this page. The ten dinosaurs are the ten that Spike, a young Triceratops, meets in our picture book Dinosaurs Are Back, where they look much more real and climb off the page in 3D.
