2 Dinosaur Coloring Pages for Young Kids to color

Today's two new coloring page drawings I did are of 

two well-known dinosaurs. These are drawn for younger kids to color. 

For the past few days and for the next few days, I am posting simpler drawings I have done or am doing

for younger kids to color. Coloring is great for developing hand-eye coordination in young kids.



 T. rex and Pteranodon Kids meet a Mammal

I should say that this is a KID drawing, so it is NOT a dinosaur and a pterosaur meeting and eating a mammal. Interspecies friends ARE seen sometimes in our modern natural world. For example, ravens and wolves play and work together.

Didelphodon is the name of the mammal. It was about as big as a badger. It probably was active at night, so it was probably nocturnal. You probably recognize the T. rex and the Pteranodon. T. rex was a dinosaur, but Pteranodon was a Pterosaur or flying reptile. These flying reptiles are also called Pterosaurs. Pterosaurs are NOT flying dinosaurs. The Pteranodon and Triceratops are both juveniles or "kids," but the Didelphodon is an adult animal. 

Notice the volcano. Volcanic activity was particularly high in the Late Cretaceous Period when these animals lived. 

These animals all lived in the Cretaceous in North America. Underground you see a fossilized skeleton of a Stegosaurus... an armored dino of the Jurassic Period. Even deeper, you see the skeleton of a non-dinosaur that is sometimes confused with dinosaurs. It is buried deeper because it lived BEFORE the dinosaurs. This non-dinosaur is a Dimetrodon from the Permian Period of the Paleozoic Era. The Paleozoic Era was BEFORE the Mesozoic Era. The Mesozoic Era was the era of the dinosaurs. 


Young Triceratops & Magnusavis meet a Young Troodon 

Magnusavis was a Cretaceous bird of North America. There WERE birds in the Cretaceous. Birds had already evolved from Theropod dinosaurs. Technically, flying birds ARE flying dinosaurs. Triceratops was a horned dinosaur from North America. Troodon was a "raptor" dinosaur from North America. All these animals lived in North America in the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era. These are all juveniles or "kids." 

IN the ground, you see a fossilized and buried skeleton of a Jurassic dinosaur... a young Allosaurus. Do you see the unhatched and now fossilized dino eggs underground? 

NOTE: These drawings were done for younger kids to color. These coloring pages are found in printable form by clicking on the "Paleontology" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" part of the list. Have fun coloring these ancient animals. Oh. I forgot a final item: Do you see the happy plant in one of the coloring pages?

The Ugly Duckling meets a Swan

 Today's coloring page for younger kids is of the Ugly Duckling.

This is my free coloring pages blog. Feel free to print any of the over 3000 coloring pages I drew...

Or color one of the several coloring pages done by my grandniece or grandnephew. 



The Ugly Duckling meets a Swan


I think that in the original story of the Ugly Duckling, the cygnet does not discover that he is a swan until he has grown up. In some video and children's book versions, he is still a cygnet when he finds out and is brought into a swan family. But in any version, the moral of the story is that the outsider or disenfranchised can turn out to be the most beautiful or best of all. 

In this drawing or coloring page, you see the "Ugly Duckling" as a cygnet or juvenile swan. He is meeting a female swan who accepts him and helps him realize that he is a swan. The mother duck who rejected the Ugly Duckling is seen further back and behind the mother swan. Her ducklings are seen behind the mother swan, viewing the "brother" they rejected being accepted as a swan. The implication is that swans are a higher rank than ducks. The mother swan's other cygnets are not in this drawing. But they welcome the "Ugly Duckling" because he never was a duckling. He always was a baby swan or cygnet. 

This is a cartoon-ish drawing for younger kids to color. But of course, any age person is free to print and color it. There are no fees or any cost to view this page or print any coloring page. I do not do "online coloring" on this site because I taught kindergarten for a while, and I believe in the hand-eye coordination that comes from coloring with crayons. 

NOTE: This new coloring page I drew can be found in printable form by clicking on the "Animals" button. Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of animal drawings. If you are accessing this page in September or October of 2026, then this title will be at or near the bottom of the "Animals" list.  I have also posted this coloring page at the bottom of the Birds" list.  By the way, can you spot the "happy tree"?

Four Jets coloring page

This is my free coloring pages blog with over 3000 coloring pages I drew for you.

Today's newest and rather simple drawing is of 4 Jet Aircraft.

For the next few days, I will be posting coloring pages for younger kids.

This rather simple drawing is for younger kids to color. It is for kids who like airplanes or jet aircraft. These are imaginary aircraft, although they have some similarities to real jet fighters. 

Can you identify something or somethings that are different in each jet? 

- Dark air intakes and striped rudder. 

- Black alerons, black rudder, and black flaps

- Black nosecone

- Black wingtip

- Under-fuselage air intake

Also, which cloud is the "Happy Cloud?" 

NOTE: This coloring page is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Vehicles and Military Vehicles." Then scroll down to the bottom of the list of titles. This title will be at the bottom or near the bottom of the list if you are accessing this site in September or October 2026.

Birch Tree Fairy and Peacock Butterfly coloring page

 

Today's coloring page I drew for you is of a 

Birch Tree Fairy. She is with a Peacock Butterfly.


Tree Fairies - Betulia the Birch Tree Fairy

If you are a regular or long-term fan of this blog, then you know that Tree Fairies are Fairies that have an affinity for specific types of trees. This is a Birch Tree Fairy.  She is also a Butterfly Fairy. Her wings are similar to those of a Eurasian Peacock Butterfly. This Fairy is named Betulia. If you saw Betulia, you would probably only see a butterfly. Fairies have powerful magic that hides them from most mortals. Certain mortals are blessed with the opportunity to see Fairies. These mortals are called "Fairykind." Only very special, pure-hearted mortals get to be Fairykind. Maybe you are one of them.

Betulia is named for the genus of birch trees (Betula). The butterfly is a Peacock Butterfly. This type of butterfly is native to Europe and Asia, although it HAS been introduced in North America. Birch trees are very commonly visited by butterflies. Many species of butterflies lay their eggs on birch trees. Many also make their cocoons on birch trees. 

Birch Trees are, as mentioned before, Genus: Betula. There are several species of birch trees. They tend to live mostly in the Northern Hemisphere of North America, Asia, and Europe. These trees have white bark with dark lenticels on the white bark. These marks really contrast with the white bark. 

NOTE: This coloring page is found in printable form by clicking on the "Fantasy, Myths, and Circus" button. Then scroll to the bottom of the list of drawings. This title will be at or near the bottom of the list if you are accessing this page in August or September of 2026. 

A note for those of you who are coloring this coloring page: The lenticels are only partly colored in. This is on purpose. You are free to use a pencil or black colored pencil to darken and more fully fill in these dark spots on the birch tree bark. Have fun coloring!

Bruhathkayosaurusn from India - Possibly the Biggest Dinosaur Ever! coloring page

 Today's newest coloring page I drew for you is a 

Bruhathkayosaurus. It may have been the

BIGGEST dinosaur EVER!


Bruhathkayosaurus near a Volcano

Bruhathkayosaurus was a gigantic animal. It was a Sauropod or long-necked dinosaur. It was also a Titanosaur. Titanosaurs include Argentinosaurus and Patagotitan. ONE Of these three dinosaurs was the biggest land animal ever to live. Bruhathkayosaurus lived in what is now India. It was possibly up to 150 feet or 46 meters long. It may have weighed up to 170 tons. Some older estimates put it at 240 tons. In comparison, a blue whale weighs up to 220 tons. 

We may never know because the original fossils were destroyed by a typhoon. The bones were in soft sandstone, and the flooding caused them to disintegrate into sand.  We only have some poor photographs and paleontologist drawings. Personally, I hope more fossils are found so we can clear up this mystery. Many paleontologists will not recognize this species because no hard evidence survived the typhoon and flooding. 

The name Bruhathkayosaurus means "huge-bodied lizard." The name comes from Sanskrit and Latin. Sanskrit is an ancient base language in India. It is kind of like Latin being the base language for several European languages. 

The Cretaceous Pterosaurs you see are 2 Pteranodons and a Quetzalcoatlus. The raptor in the foreground is not named, but several raptor dinosaur fragments have been found in India. 

NOTE: This coloring page drawing is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled Paleontology. Then scroll down to the bottom of the "Mesozoic Life" portion of the "Paleontology" page. If you are accessing this site in August or September of 2026, then you will find this title at or near the bottom of the Mesozoic Life list under the Paleontology button.  Below is an older coloring page drawing I did of Bruhathkayosaurus. It is different because we don't really know what this enormous dinosaur really fully looked like. Only a few huge bones were found. The older coloring page in printable form is much further up the list of Mesozoic coloring page titles.

Jesus as a Young Carpenter coloring page

 Today on this, my free coloring pages site, I am posting a drawing I did of 

Jesus as a young carpenter.


Jesus as a Young Carpenter

We don't know a lot about Jesus' time as a young man. He started His ministry as a 30-year-old, and that was documented in the four Gospels. We know that He lived free of sin. His foster father, Joseph, was a good man and a carpenter. So it seems likely that Jesus worked as a carpenter. He lived in a small rural town called Nazareth. Jesus was obviously familiar with shepherds. He journeyed to another small town called Capernaum. However, Capernaum was actually much larger than Nazareth. It was in or near  Capernaum that Jesus found most of His Apostles. They came from various backgrounds. 


Notice the dove in the tree - signifying that Jesus has the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost with him. I’m sure the Holy Ghost was always with Jesus. 

NOTE: This coloring page is found in printable form by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the New Testament section. IF you are accessing this page in August or September 2026 them this title will be at or near the bottom of the list of New Testament drawings.
