ORNITHOMIMUS COLORING PAGE

🦖 Ornithomimus 🦖 Realistic 🕰️ late_cretaceous 🦕 Herbivore 🦕

This coloring page shows a young Ornithomimus caught mid-stride, one clawed foot raised and its tail stretched back for balance. Its rounded, toothless beak curves into a smile, and short feathers run along its forearms. Small oval spots dot its back and neck. Behind it, a volcano sends up a thick plume of smoke, framed by three palm trees with curling fronds. In the foreground, two clumps of ferns with coiled fiddleheads grow beside rocks on either side of the dino. The outline stays steady and fairly thick, which keeps the body of the dino and the volcanic smoke as large, easy-to-fill areas. The ferns and their spiral fiddleheads call for more care, as do the finer feather lines on the arms. This printable suits children who already stay inside the lines, roughly ages 6 to 9, and takes about twenty minutes to finish. To bring out the scene, contrast the pale grey of the smoke with a bright color on the dino's body, and keep the rocks in neutral tones so they don't compete with the Ornithomimus. Print this coloring page on A4 paper at 180-200 gsm, thick enough that markers won't bleed through.
