Stegosaurus Gazing at the Sky With Leaf-Shaped Plates

A friendly cartoon dinosaur is drawn sideways on the page, with its long neck stretched upward and its head tilted up as if looking at the sky. It has one big round eye with a little shine in it, small nostril marks on the snout, and a few tiny spots on the cheek. A row of large leaf shaped plates runs along its back and tail, each with thin lines fanning out like veins. The round belly has an oval spot pattern, and the chunky legs end in small pointed toenails. The tail curves down and finishes with a few little spikes. Try coloring each back plate in a different shade of green, orange, or purple to practice staying inside the lines on larger shapes. It also works well for a short lesson on how plant eating dinosaurs looked. Print as many copies as you need for class or home.
