About this coloring page

A cute baby dinosaur with big, friendly eyes peeks out from a cracked eggshell. The little dinosaur has a happy smile, small spots on its head, and tiny ridges along its back. Two broken pieces of the spotted eggshell lie on either side of the main shell on the ground.

This coloring page features thick black outlines and large, open spaces. It is perfect for young artists who are just learning to color within the lines. The simple shapes of the egg and the dinosaur make it easy to fill with bright, cheerful colors.

While coloring, you can talk about how some animals, like dinosaurs, birds, and reptiles, hatch from eggs. Ask your child what color they think a real dinosaur egg might have been in the past. You can also count the spots on the egg together.

Learn while you color

  • Triceratops had three horns and a large bony frill around its neck.
  • Stegosaurus had a brain about the size of a walnut, small for an animal as big as a bus.
  • Some long-neck sauropods, such as Argentinosaurus, were among the largest land animals that ever lived.

Coloring tips for this page

  • Use chunky crayons or thick markers: the big shapes are made for them.
  • Nobody knows the real colors of most dinosaurs, so any color is right. Encourage stripes, spots and bold patterns.
  • For a realistic look, use greens and browns like modern reptiles and add a lighter belly.
  • Color the background last: a blue sky, an orange volcano glow or green jungle makes the dinosaur stand out.
