Friendly cartoon, smiling, and playful dinosaurs for every age
The book moves through a few simple styles, so you can pick a dinosaur page based on your child's age and how much they want to color.
Friendly cartoon dinosaurs
Feature big, rounded shapes and happy faces that are easy for little hands to color. These are the most beginner friendly pages in the book and finish quickly, which keeps young colorists motivated.
Smiling, happy dinosaurs
Put a cheerful expression front and center, with large open areas for crayons and markers. They are a great fit for toddlers and preschoolers who are still learning to stay inside the lines.
Playful dinosaur poses
Show dinosaurs walking, waving, and stomping through simple scenes. The added movement gives older kids a little more to color while keeping the lines bold and clear.
Bold, simple lines for young kids
Use thick outlines and minimal background clutter, so the focus stays on one friendly dinosaur per page. Perfect for quiet time, road trips, and rainy afternoons.
Best tools for simple dinosaur coloring pages
Because these simple dinosaur coloring pages use thick outlines and large color areas, almost any tool works well, which is exactly why they are so good for building a young child's confidence. Crayons are the easiest starting point for toddlers and preschoolers, since the wide lines are forgiving and there is no pressure to stay perfectly inside them.
Colored pencils give older kids more control for adding small details to a dinosaur's scales, spikes, or teeth. Washable markers make the colors pop, just step up to slightly thicker paper so they do not bleed through. Gel pens are a fun finishing touch for sparkly highlights once the main coloring is done.
There is no wrong way to color a dinosaur. A bright purple stegosaurus or a polka dot tyrannosaurus is exactly the kind of creative freedom that makes these pages a favorite for kids, parents, and teachers alike.
Where to start: simple dinosaur pages for every age
If you are printing for a toddler or a young child just learning to color, start with the boldest, simplest dinosaurs in the gallery, the ones with the largest open shapes and the fewest small details. These finish quickly, which keeps little ones motivated and proud of a completed page.
For older kids who want more to color, the playful dinosaur poses and scenes add a little more line work without ever becoming complicated. Because the whole book is one PDF, you can print a single easy page for a quiet afternoon, or the full set for a birthday party, a classroom activity, or a rainy day at home.
How to print simple dinosaur coloring pages at home
Printing from this book takes about a minute from start to finish. The full book is one PDF, so you can print every dinosaur in a single job or pick out only the pages your child wants.
- Open the book in the embedded viewer. Scroll to the embedded viewer at the bottom of this page, or click any thumbnail in the gallery to jump straight to that dinosaur page inside the viewer.
- Choose Print or Download from the toolbar. Use the viewer's toolbar to print directly from your browser or download the full PDF to your computer for later use. Both options are free.
- Pick the right paper. Standard 24 lb (90 gsm) printer paper works fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers, step up to 70 to 90 lb cardstock to prevent bleed through and warping.
- Set print quality and scaling. Select your printer's highest quality setting and set scaling to None or Actual Size to keep the bold cartoon lines crisp on 8.5x11 paper. On A4, enable Fit to page.
- Test print one sheet first. Before printing the full book, run a test on a single dinosaur page to check the line crispness and paper behavior with your chosen tool.
