About this coloring page

This friendly stegosaurus stands on four sturdy legs with a big smile and a long tail curving upward. Leaf-shaped plates with branching veins run along its back, while a tall fern frond rises behind them. Small rounded toes, a bright cartoon eye, and pointed tail spikes give the drawing plenty of character without a busy background.

The broad body offers plenty of room for color, while the plates and fern add medium-level detail for kids ages 6–10. Try a green body with golden leaf-shaped plates, or choose purple and orange for a more playful dinosaur. Crayons work well for the large spaces, and colored pencils can help fill the narrow fern leaves.

Best paper

Standard printer paper works; 24–32 lb or cardstock is nicer for markers.

Printer settings

Choose “Fit to page” and turn off two-sided printing so ink doesn't bleed through.

Supplies

Colored pencils give the most control on detailed areas.
