Five little prehistoric babies are waiting to be counted and colored! Our number 5 coloring page pairs a chunky numeral with five adorable little creatures. Print this free printable and count together: one, two, three, four, five!
Why Kids Love the Five Prehistoric Babies
Baby dinos are instantly lovable, and five is a great number to count because it fits on one hand. Each baby can be tapped with its own finger. Giving every baby a different color makes them easy to tell apart. The 5 itself has a straight line and a curve, which is great practice for tracing.

Fun Facts About Baby Dinos and the Number 5
Dinosaurs hatched from eggs. For some species, like Maiasaura from the Cretaceous period, scientists have found nests with young ones that were probably cared for for a while. Baby dinos were much smaller than their parents and grew up over time. Five is special for kids because it matches the fingers on one hand, so they can always check the amount with their own hand. Coloring the tiny bodies also builds fine motor control and stamina. By the way: the little flyer in the picture is a pterosaur, which strictly speaking is not a dinosaur.
