Why Kids Love the Dino King

A crown, a throne, and a proud pose – this page combines two kid favorites: dinosaurs and kingdoms. The big spiky crown is the perfect spot for gold, glitter, and colorful jewels. The rock throne invites kids to dream up a whole dino castle. And since T-Rex is sitting down, he looks cozy rather than wild.

Why Is T-Rex Called a “King”?

The “rex” in Tyrannosaurus rex is Latin for king. It got its name in 1905, shortly after a skeleton was dug up in Montana. T-Rex lived in the late Cretaceous period alongside dinosaurs like Triceratops and was one of the biggest meat-eaters of its time. Of course, it never wore a real crown – the nickname “king of the dinosaurs” comes from its size and its name.

Fun Ideas for Your Dino King

Decorate the crown with glitter, sequins, or a bit of foil to make it sparkle. Then make your own paper crowns and play royal dino court – who’s the king, and who’s in his royal crew? The finished page also makes an awesome dino party invitation.

Color Ideas for Your Crowned T-Rex

Go royal with these colors:

👑 Gold crown
Yellow with a touch of orange at the edges looks like real gold.
💎 Jewels
Red, blue, and green dots on the crown look like gems.
💜 Royal purple
A purple T-Rex looks extra fancy.
🪨 Gray throne
Gray with dark cracks makes the rock throne look real.
💡 Coloring Tip: For shiny gold, color the crown yellow and leave a few small white spots – they’ll look like reflections of light.
