Cute Cartoon Stegosaurus With Big Leafy Back Plates

A friendly baby stegosaurus is drawn on its side, so the page works best turned sideways. The dinosaur has a round, chubby body, a wide smiling face with two big round eyes, and two small nostrils on its snout. A row of large leaf-shaped plates runs along its back, each one with thin lines that look like veins, and two smaller plates sit near the tail. You can also see short, stubby legs with rounded toes, a few little wrinkle lines on the legs, and a curved tail with a pointed tip. The big open belly area is great for little hands who are still learning to stay inside the lines. Try coloring each back plate a different shade, like a rainbow pattern, then talk about how stegosaurus plates ran in a row along the spine. This free printable suits preschoolers and early elementary kids.
