Smiling Dinosaur Easter Coloring Page with a Basket of Eggs

The Smiling Dinosaur Easter Coloring Page with a Basket of Eggs brings a dinosaur to the Easter table. The dinosaur stands on its back legs with a wide, open grin and holds a woven basket by the handle with both hands. Three decorated eggs sit in the basket, and three more wait on the ground by its feet.

Print it free for kids ages 4 to 8 who love dinosaurs, at home or for a classroom Easter party. It has big shapes for small hands and patterned eggs for kids who like detail.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "a friendly dinosaur standing upright and carrying a basket of decorated Easter eggs, with a few eggs on the ground near its feet."

In the drawing, "upright" means the dinosaur stands on its two back legs, and the body runs the full height of the sheet. "Carrying" appears as both front hands gripping the basket handle in front of the belly. "Friendly" shows in the face, with round eyes, curved eyebrows, one small tooth under the snout and an open smile with the tongue showing. The "few eggs on the ground" are three eggs, one beside the left foot and two beside the right foot, where the two eggs overlap.

A Closer Look at This Dinosaur Easter Coloring Page

The dinosaur is a cartoon with a large head and a round belly, so the biggest areas on the page belong to the animal itself. The basket and the eggs are smaller and sit in front of the belly.

Big areas fill quickly with a crayon, which keeps younger kids interested, and the small eggs give them a finishing task once the dinosaur has its colors.

A row of rounded plates runs from the top of the head down the neck and back, then along the upper edge of the tail, which curls up behind the dinosaur on the right. Curved lines cross the belly from the chest to the legs, three round spots sit on the hip, and each foot has three rounded toes.

The basket has a rounded rim over four rows of brick-like blocks. Inside, the left egg has horizontal stripes, the middle egg has zigzags, and the right egg is dotted with small circles. On the ground, the egg by the left foot has wavy lines, and by the right foot a striped egg stands in front of an egg with zigzags and a row of circles.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Choose one main color for the body and a second color for the plates and the spots, such as green with yellow or purple with orange. Color the belly a shade lighter than the back to make the dinosaur look rounder.

The basket blocks are small and regular, so they are a good place to practice coloring in one direction. Alternate two browns from row to row to show the weave, and keep the eggs bright so they stand out against the basket. The tongue and the inside of the mouth can take a soft pink.

For the three eggs on the ground, reuse the colors of the eggs in the basket so the whole set matches.

If there is a toy dinosaur at home, photograph your toy dinosaur and print it as a coloring page to keep this one company.
