EATING STEGOSAURUS #38

This dino stands in side profile, front legs planted firmly on the ground, chewing on a fern frond held up near its mouth. Its head turns slightly upward, with a round eye and a small smile giving the stegosaurus a gentle expression. Two rows of large triangular plates run along its back, tapering into smaller spikes near the tip of the tail. Oval-shaped spots of different sizes cover its side. On the left, a palm tree loaded with coconuts frames the scene, while on the right a volcano sends up a cloud of smoke. Scattered rocks and clumps of grass and ferns fill the ground around the animal. The outlines are bold and clean, which makes this coloring page approachable for younger children. The stegosaurus's body offers large, easy-to-fill areas, but the oval spots, the back plates, and the small rocks call for steadier hands and a finer pen. A quick pass takes about fifteen to twenty minutes, while filling in every spot and plate carefully can stretch past half an hour. Try shading the back plates in two close tones instead of one flat color — it makes them stand out along the spine and gives this printable dino page a bit of depth. Print it on A4 paper of at least 160gsm so felt-tip pens don't bleed through, keeping the rocks and the volcano's smoke cloud crisp.
