Spinosaurus Coloring Page

This Spinosaurus stands side-on with a big curved neck, a round smile and one large friendly eye topped by an eyebrow line. Its trademark sail rises from its back, crossed by rib lines that split it into narrow panels. Two small front arms with clawed hands rest near its chest, while two sturdy back legs with clawed feet plant it firmly on the ground, and a long tail sweeps behind before curling up at the tip.

The body, neck and legs are all big open spaces, so a child can color most of the dinosaur with broad strokes and no real risk of going over a line. The sail is the trickier part: those rib panels are narrow, so filling each one without crossing into the next takes a slower hand and a bit more concentration. It is a nice page for switching colors often, since nothing says a Spinosaurus has to be one shade all over.

Between the large easy body and the fiddlier sail strips, this sheet sits at an easy-to-moderate level. Younger children can happily color the body and legs and leave the sail one plain color, while older preschoolers who like a challenge can take on each panel separately.
