Who these pages are best suited for

The “Friendly Ankylosaurus” and “Baby Ankylosaurus” designs work well for children just starting out, thanks to larger sections and simple outlines. The “Detailed Ankylosaurus” and “Armored Ankylosaurus” pages, with their many plates to pick out, suit older kids or those already comfortable holding a pencil. The “Ankylosaurus Family” scenes are great for sharing, letting siblings or a parent and child color side by side. Teachers can print a set of these dinosaur coloring pages for a whole class working on the same topic at once.

How to approach these coloring pages

• On the “Detailed” and “Armored” pages, start with the large back plates before moving to smaller details, so the page feels less overwhelming.
• On “Club Tail” and “in Defense” pages, using a stronger color for the tail club or the stance helps it stand out from the rest of the body.
• On “Family” scenes, giving each ankylosaurus its own color makes it easier to tell them apart.
• On “Friendly” and “Baby” pages, plain colored pencils or markers are enough, with no need for complex shading.

Colored pencils suit the fine detail of the “Detailed” pages, while markers or paint give the flat, bold color that works well on the “Friendly” and “Baby Ankylosaurus” designs. Pages can be printed in classic black and white, or printed again to try a different color scheme.

What kids can learn about the ankylosaurus

Coloring these pages also leaves children with a few real facts about the animal. Ankylosaurus lived near the end of the Cretaceous period, roughly 68 to 66 million years ago, and moved on four short legs with its body held low to the ground. It was a herbivore, which the “Herbivore Ankylosaurus” pages reflect. Its best-known feature is the armor of bony plates covering its back, along with the bone club at the tip of its tail that it could swing in defense, a detail captured in the “Club Tail” and “in Defense” pages.
