Dinosaur coloring pages are a fun, visual way to introduce toddlers to the prehistoric world. In addition to being entertaining, coloring helps children develop fine motor skills and strengthens hand-eye coordination. Plus, it’s a simple activity that can easily be incorporated into playtime or quiet time at home or in the classroom. When choosing a dinosaur coloring page for toddlers, try sticking to simpler designs with less detail to avoid overwhelming younger children. Additionally, try to select dinosaurs that may already be familiar to your child through toys, books, or TV shows for added engagement and familiarity.
Dinosaur Fun Facts:
- The sauropod family Brachiosauridae had the tallest dinosaurs. They had a giraffe-like stance because their front legs were longer than their back legs. They could browse off the tallest trees because of this and their incredibly long, vertically held necks. The most famous of the group, Brachiosaurus, stood 13 meters tall. Large and perhaps reaching a height of 18.5 meters, Sauroposeidon was the tallest dinosaur.
- The brain of the Stegosaurus was barely 3 centimeters long and weighed 75 grams. It was the size of a walnut. In contrast, sauropodomorphs like Plateosaurus were arguably some of the most stupid dinosaurs when compared by brain size to body size.
- The size and shape of dinosaur eggs are varied. They often have an ovoid or spherical shape and can grow up to 30 cm long, or the length of a rugby ball. The tiniest dinosaur egg discovered so far measures just 3 centimeters. The egg will become hard like a rock once it has been fossilized, but it will still have its own unique structure.
