🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the dinosaur fits the sheet perfectly.

Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished masterpiece a spot on the fridge!
Were There Apples in Dinosaur Times?
Nope – apples didn’t exist back then! Apple trees appeared many millions of years after the dinosaurs. But there’s a tree dinos did know that still grows in lots of parks today: the ginkgo. It’s called a “living fossil” because it was already around in dinosaur times. Its seeds look almost like little fruits, and scientists think some dinos may have eaten them. So a real prehistoric picnic would have been more like ginkgo seeds, ferns, and pine needles.
Fun Ideas for Your Dino Picnic
Have your own picnic in the yard or bedroom – with a blanket and basket! Look for a ginkgo tree with its fan-shaped leaves at the park. Or draw what else the dinos packed in their basket.
