About this coloring page

This coloring page shows a triceratops family on a journey. A large mother triceratops leads the way, followed by three smaller dinosaurs of different sizes. They walk through a lush prehistoric landscape filled with detailed ferns, palm trees, and rolling hills under a bright, shining sun.

With medium-sized areas and clear, bold outlines, this page is perfect for older preschoolers and young kids. The ferns in the foreground have smaller leaves that offer a fun challenge for practicing fine motor control, while the larger dinosaur bodies are easy to fill with color.

While coloring, you can talk about how triceratops were plant-eaters. Look at their three horns and the large frill on their heads, which helped protect them. You can count the different dinosaurs from largest to smallest to practice size order.

Coloring tips for this page

Color the large areas first, then the small details with colored pencils.
Use two shades of the same color on the body, the darker one along the back and the lighter one underneath.
Markers are great for big bodies; colored pencils are better for the small spikes, teeth and plates.
Leave the eyes white with a small black dot so the dinosaur looks friendly.
