Dinosaur Family

Dinosaur Family is a rewarding learning topic. Coloring it almost automatically sparks a conversation about which dinosaurs were plant-eaters or predators, how big they grew, or why they went extinct. Color choices are entirely free, since science still doesn't know for sure what colors most species really had.

The dino family looks most beautiful in vibrant greens and warm earth tones. Color the large parent dinosaurs in dark green or brown, while the little babies get lighter pastel shades – this creates sweet contrasts. The prehistoric landscape gains depth with dark green bushes in the background and bright green plants in the foreground. Use ochre and terracotta for rocks and soil to create authenticity. With fine pencil lines, you can suggest scales and add more texture to the dino skin.
