ROARING T-REX #12

A young T-Rex stands upright with its mouth wide open and its short arms raised, front and centre on the page. Round spots pattern its belly, and its curved tail rests on the ground behind it. It's surrounded by a small jungle: several palm trees, one topped with a coconut, another wrapped in a spiral vine, ferns with long fronds, a few rounded rocks, and a winding stream drawn across the ground. In the background, a volcano sends up a puffy cloud of smoke. The outline stays thin and even throughout, but the care needed shifts across the page: the dino's body, legs and belly give large, easy sections to fill in, while the spiral vine, the fern fronds and the smoke cloud call for a steadier hand. This printable coloring page suits a young child working on the big shapes just as well as an older one who wants to fine-tune the background; plan on about twenty minutes for the dinosaur alone, longer with the whole scene. Work the small pieces first - the curled vine, the belly spots, the claws - before moving to the wide areas of the body and the volcano, since fine lines get lost once a hand is tired from covering large surfaces. For printing, 200gsm paper in A4 or US letter will keep markers from bleeding through.
