VOLCANIC PREHISTORIC SCENE #2

🌋 Prehistoric Scenes ⭐ Simple (Kids) 🕰️ Triassic 🦖 Carnivore 🦖

Behind the dino, a volcano puffs a curling cloud of smoke between two jagged peaks — the first thing that draws the eye in this scene. In front of it, the long-necked dino stands smiling on four sturdy legs, its head tilted up and mouth open as if greeting someone. Large oval spots of different sizes cover its back and curved tail. Two full palm trees frame the scene on either side, and near its front feet a fern curls into a tight spiral among clumps of spiky leaves. Scattered round rocks and a thin trickle of water winding across the ground complete the setting. The linework is bold and clean, with big smooth areas across the belly, neck and back that fill in quickly with markers or wide crayons. The spots, rocks, palm fronds and volcano cloud are smaller shapes that call for a steadier hand, so this printable coloring page suits younger children on the open body parts and older kids on the detailed foliage. Working through the whole scene takes a good half hour without rushing. Since the spots aren't arranged in a repeating pattern, try shading each one a slightly different tone instead of matching them all — it gives the dino's back more depth. Print this coloring page on A4 paper at 200 gsm, thick enough to hold up under markers without bleeding through.
