Realistic colors: Think natural tones like olive green, brown, and tan for a more scientific approach
Fantasy colors: Let imagination run wild with purples, blues, and even rainbow dinosaurs
Themed colors: Try coloring your dinosaur in your favorite sports team’s colors or to match your bedroom

Simple Shading Techniques

Even kids can add dimension to their dinosaur coloring pages with these easy techniques:

Color more lightly in areas where the sun would hit the dinosaur
Press harder with crayons or markers for shadows underneath or in folded areas
Use a lighter shade of the same color for highlights and a darker shade for shadows

Adding Backgrounds

Don’t stop at just coloring the dinosaur! Add:

A blue sky with clouds
Trees and prehistoric plants
Volcanoes or mountains in the distance
Other dinosaurs in the background
