DINO Word Page with a Long-Necked Dinosaur and Volcano
Coloring guide
Standing tall in the middle of this free printable is a smiling long-necked dinosaur with big round eyes, a friendly open mouth and oval spots down its neck, back and sides. A small smoking volcano sits behind it, puffing out a curly cloud, and three palm trees with coconuts frame the scene on the left and right. The ground has rounded bushes and little grass tufts, plus a few pebbles near the bottom. The word DINO runs across the front in big bubble letters, waiting for color. Soft green skin with purple spots looks nice on the dinosaur, bright orange and red suit the volcano, and the letters can be every color of the rainbow. Young dinosaur fans and early readers practicing letters will like this one. If you enjoyed this Words page, don't miss our Activity Sheets and Alphabet coloring pages.
