PREHISTORIC TRICERATOPS #11
A cheerful triceratops takes center stage in this printable coloring page, its three horns clearly outlined and its frill dotted with small rounded bumps. Round spots pattern its belly and legs as it stands on an oval patch of ground scattered with a few stones. Behind it, coconut palms frame an erupting volcano trailing smoke, while curled fern fronds fill both sides of the scene. The dino itself is drawn with bold, open lines: the head, frill and belly give large, easy areas to fill in for a first try with crayons. The background shifts pace sharply, since the fern fronds and palm leaves multiply into many small pockets needing a steadier hand. This coloring page suits a child finishing the triceratops quickly just as well as someone patient enough for the volcanic backdrop, needing about twenty minutes to complete it all. Since the dino and background don't share the same level of detail, color the triceratops's large shapes first before tackling the ferns and volcano smoke, so the fiddly parts don't use up patience meant for the main figure. For crisp results, print this sheet on A4 paper of at least 200gsm, sturdy enough for markers without bleeding through.
