Armored Dinosaur With Egg-Shaped Back Plates and Spiky Tail

Armored Dinosaur With Egg-Shaped Back Plates and Spiky Tail coloring page

Coloring guide

A friendly cartoon dinosaur curves across the page, turned on its side, with big round eyes and a small smile. Its back is lined with rounded, egg-shaped plates that get larger toward the middle and smaller toward the tail. The tail ends in a curved tip with four pointed spikes sticking out. You can see three of its stubby legs, and each foot has round toes. The head has a rounded snout with a small nostril, and a few smaller plates and bumps sit along its neck and shoulder. The belly and sides are left plain, so there is lots of open space for color. This free printable works well for a plate-counting activity. Ask kids to color the back plates in a pattern, such as red, yellow, and green, and then count how many plates the dinosaur has. Crayons or markers both work nicely on the large shapes.
