Here's our delightful Dilophosaurus, looking a little less menacing than in the movies! With its distinctive double crests and a friendly smile, this guy is super fun to color. The crests offer a great chance to experiment with bright, contrasting colors, and the body has nice big areas perfect for little hands to fill in.
For a fun activity, print a few copies and have your child color the Dilophosaurus in different environments – maybe one in a sunny jungle, another under a starry night sky. Then, they can tell you a story about what their dinosaur is doing in each scene.

Frequently asked questions
My child finishes coloring pages in two minutes. Any tips?
Try a slow-down game: pick three colors only, color one section per color, or add a background with crayons after the main picture is done. You can also print two copies and color side by side — kids naturally take more care when someone colors along with them.
What skills does the Dilophosaurus Coloring Page practice?
Coloring inside large, defined areas builds fine-motor control, pencil grip and hand-eye coordination — the pre-writing skills teachers look for. Naming the picture and choosing colors also sneaks in vocabulary and decision-making.
Is this a good quiet-time activity for a preschooler?
It's one of the best: print two or three pages, set out crayons, and you have a genuinely screen-free 20 minutes. A dedicated "quiet-time folder" of favorite printables makes the routine stick.
Can I use it in my classroom or homeschool?
Yes. Our printables are free for personal, classroom and homeschool use — print as many copies as you need for the kids in your care. The only thing we ask is that you don't resell the files or upload them to other sites.
