62 Dinosaur Coloring Pages

These free printable dinosaur coloring pages bring together sixty-two hand-drawn scenes from the age of the dinosaurs, all free to download as PDFs and print on US Letter or A4 as often as you like. They fall into a few groups. Some star the mighty ones, a T-Rex running past a smoking volcano, a spinosaurus splashing through a river. Others are the gentle giants, the long-necked brachiosaurus, the plated stegosaurus, the three-horned triceratops. And a good handful are baby dinosaurs and families, a hatchling cracking out of its egg, a mother leading her little ones across the water.

Whatever the scene, every page keeps the same thick, clean outline, so a preschooler and an older dinosaur fan can each find one to fill. Click any page below to open its printable PDF.

What can you do with these dinosaur pages?

These are made for teaching dinosaur names. Each one is drawn with the features that give it away, the plates down a stegosaurus, the three horns of a triceratops, the long neck of a brachiosaurus, so your kid learns to name them just by coloring. Label each page as you go, or turn it into a which-is-which game, and to make the names stick, ask Colorin AI for a dinosaur with its name written across the top.

They double as an easy science lesson. While your kid colors a brachiosaurus, you can mention it was longer than a school bus, and the size lands because they are filling in the whole thing by hand. For a real classroom set, ask Colorin AI for one dinosaur per period, from the Triassic to the Cretaceous, and for the youngest hands, the simpler baby dinosaur pages are the gentle end of the set.

How do you color a dinosaur?

Here is the part kids love: nobody actually knows what color most dinosaurs were, because skin almost never fossilizes. Scientists have found hints for a few feathered species, but for the classic giants the color is an educated guess, which means there is no wrong answer on the page. Swampy greens and earthy browns look believable, and so does a striped or spotted dinosaur.

That makes dinosaurs one of the best pages for a child who would rather invent than copy, since a purple triceratops is exactly as scientifically honest as a grey one. If you want to start a preschooler on something simpler, you can ask Colorin AI for a baby dinosaur with extra thick lines.

How we made this collection

Here is what sets this collection apart from a stock coloring site: none of these pages existed until we asked for them. We described each scene in a single sentence, typed it into Colorin AI, and it drew the whole thing as clean, printable line art in seconds. The volcano T-Rex came from a line close to "a friendly T-Rex running past a smoking volcano, rocky ground, simple thick lines," and the triceratops from swapping that for "resting beside a calm river."

The sentence really comes down to two choices, which dinosaur and where it is, so a new page is only ever a word away. It is why the set could grow to sixty-two scenes instead of the same dinosaur over and over, and why your kid can name the sixty-third and have it from Colorin AI in seconds.

Why are dinosaur coloring pages so popular?

Dinosaurs are usually a child's first brush with the idea that something enormous was real and is now gone, and that is a powerful pull. They also come with names a kid can learn and show off, and because a T-Rex, a triceratops, and a stegosaurus look nothing alike, sixty-two dinosaurs are sixty-two animals to tell apart rather than the same lizard over and over. That mix of awe and easy sorting is why a dinosaur page holds a child who has already outgrown generic animals.
