Why Kids Love This Roaring T-Rex
This T-Rex isn’t trying to scare anyone – he’s roaring because he’s having the best day ever. His raised arms look like he’s cheering, and kids usually can’t resist cheering along. The big body and round rock give little hands plenty of room to color without fiddly details. And that wide, toothless mouth is just begging for a bold splash of red or pink.

Fun Facts About Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tyrannosaurus rex lived at the very end of the Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago, in what is now North America. At up to 40 feet long, it was about as long as a school bus. Its name means “tyrant lizard king.” T-Rex was a meat-eater with one of the strongest bites of any land animal we know of. Here’s a fun twist: nobody knows exactly what it sounded like, and some scientists think it made deep, rumbling sounds rather than a big roar.
