What Are Dinosaurs?
In ancient times, people who discovered large, old bones in the ground often came up with wild stories to explain them. Some believed they were the remains of giants who perished during the Great Flood mentioned in the Bible. In other cultures, particularly in the East, people thought they had found dragon bones, creatures known for their magical powers. Looking at these dinosaur coloring pages, it’s easy to understand why people might think of them as mythical creatures—they truly do look like something out of a fairy tale.
In reality, dinosaurs were animals that lived on Earth for about 160 million years. They became famous thanks to numerous fossil discoveries displayed in major museums around the world, as well as their starring roles in popular animated films and blockbuster movies.
How to Color Dinosaur Coloring Pages?
These dinosaur coloring pages are best suited for colored pencils, as markers and paints may not achieve the desired effect. Make sure to have plenty of shades of green and brown in your coloring set. You can trace the bold outlines with a brown pencil, and then use soft orange or green shades for the base. Adding detail helps develop fine motor skills and lets your child make each picture truly their own.
If your child has a favorite dinosaur coloring page, you can take it a step further by adding glitter or framing the finished piece. A handmade picture like this adds a cozy, personal touch to any room.
