EATING ANKYLOSAURUS #1

This coloring page shows a friendly ankylosaurus facing forward, a fern frond caught between its jaws. Its back is covered in rounded bony plates of different sizes, and two small horns sit atop its head. The tapering tail still carries a few blunt spikes. Around the dino, two coconut palms frame the scene, spiral-curled ferns grow in the foreground, rounded rocks are scattered across the ground, and a stream winds off to the right. Behind it all, a volcano sends up a plume of smoke. The linework is clean and closed, which makes this printable coloring page easy to work with. The plates along the back form large, simple shapes that suit a young child just starting out with crayons. The spiral ferns, the volcano's smoke, and the foreground foliage call for more care and fit an older child or an adult who enjoys fine detail. Expect around thirty minutes for the broad areas, longer if every leaf gets its own shade. Since each back plate is outlined on its own, alternating two or three tones keeps the armor from reading as one flat mass, and a light grey saved for the volcano's smoke keeps it apart from the sky. For this coloring page, print on paper of at least 200 gsm in A4 or US letter if markers or watercolor are involved, so the color doesn't bleed through.
