Dinosaur By A Volcano Coloring Page

Smoke puffs out of a tall volcano while a cheerful T. rex stands beside it on this free dinosaur and volcano coloring page. Lava drips down the cone, a few rocks and grass tufts dot the ground, and clouds float above — a classic prehistoric scene drawn in clean, bold lines.

Who this page is for

Ages 4–9. The volcano is the star for many kids: it’s a big simple triangle that begs for red, orange and yellow. The dinosaur itself is straightforward to color.

Dinosaur facts to share while you color

• Volcanoes were very active during the age of dinosaurs, and their ash layers help scientists date fossils today.
• A huge set of eruptions in what is now India happened around the time the dinosaurs disappeared.
• Lava isn’t always red: it glows yellow-white when it’s hottest and darkens to red as it cools.

Make it an activity

Talk about warm and cool colors: hot colors (red, orange, yellow) for the volcano and lava, cool colors (blue, green, purple) for the sky and ground. Kids can see the contrast right away.
