Each design has a different imaginative scene, so children can explore coloring patterns, clouds, balloons and a mini art studio. These are playful cartoon adventures rather than scientifically accurate pictures of prehistoric dinosaurs.

1. Dinosaur in a Hot-Air Balloon Coloring Page

A little dinosaur peeks out of a striped hot-air balloon basket, surrounded by clouds, stars and bunting. Color the balloon in your favorite bright patterns, then add a soft sky backdrop.

How to Print Your Free Dinosaur Coloring Sheets

  1. Choose a page. Click the download link under your favorite dinosaur picture.
  2. Save the image. Open the full-size PNG and use the save option in your browser or device.
  3. Check the print preview. Select portrait orientation and a fit-to-page setting so the outer border stays on the paper.
  4. Start coloring. Ordinary printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. If you use markers, place a spare sheet underneath or choose thicker paper.

For more printing help, read our A4 vs US Letter guide. If printed lines look unclear, see our guide to fixing blurry coloring pages.

Fun Activities With Your Dinosaur Coloring Pages

1. Make a colorful balloon challenge

Start with the balloon scenes and give every balloon section a different shade. Try stripes, dots or alternating colors. Ask your child which colors they would pick for a pretend flight above the clouds.

2. Create a little dinosaur art gallery

Once the pages are finished, display them next to one another. Children can invent a name for each dinosaur and write a short caption under their favorite picture.

3. Tell a three-picture story

Use the pictures as prompts: Where is the balloon going? How does the flying dinosaur feel? What will the painting dinosaur make next? Let children tell the story aloud or write a sentence about each page.
