COMPLETE FOSSIL #5

🦴 Fossils ⭐ Simple (Kids) 🕰️ Jurassic 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

This coloring page shows the complete skeleton of a long-necked dino, standing on ground scattered with pebbles and two large rounded rocks. The neck and tail vertebrae line up in small segments, the ribcage curves in bare bone lines, yet the head keeps a round face, one eye and a smile. Palm trees frame the scene, and a volcano puffs smoke in the background. Vertebra by vertebra, rib by rib: these tightly packed little bones call for a fine-tip pen and patience. The smoke cloud, the volcano's body and the ground, on the other hand, stay large and simple, easy to fill with a broad crayon. This printable coloring page suits ages 6 and up for the big shapes, and closer to 8-9 for the fiddly bones; allow a good half hour. Start with the small bone segments of the neck and tail using your finest tip, then move to the volcano and foliage with a broad crayon: working small-to-large keeps your hand fresh for the fiddly parts. Print this page at A4, on heavy paper (180-200 gsm), so markers won't bleed through to the next sheet.
