Color first, then write the name: our dinosaur names coloring page shows six famous dinos with a wide writing line underneath. Print this free printable and combine reading, writing, and coloring.
Why This Learning Page Is Fun
The page has six dinos in two rows, and a line under each one. Kids color the dino and then think about what it’s called. Because the names are real and exciting, writing them has a purpose. And copying from a book or a board quietly builds spelling skills.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best

Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the dinosaur fits the sheet perfectly.

Fun Facts About the Six Dinos
The page shows six famous dinos. T-Rex (“tyrant lizard king”), Triceratops (“three-horned face”), and Ankylosaurus (“fused lizard”) all lived in the Cretaceous period. So did Spinosaurus (“spine lizard”), in what is now North Africa. Stegosaurus (“roof lizard”) and Brachiosaurus (“arm lizard”) come from the Jurassic period. Writing the long names is great practice: kids break them into syllables and remember the letters. That builds writing control, focus, and patience.
What to Do With Your Finished Learning Page
Cut out the dinos and turn them into a card game or a memory match. Or read the names together syllable by syllable and clap the rhythm. When you’re done, flip the page over and write the names again without a model.
