Crafts for Kids Using Dinosaur Coloring Pages

Dinosaurs have always fascinated kids with their mystery and grandeur. As a dad of two, Lisa and Mike, I’ve discovered that combining this fascination with fun crafts leads to hours of creative engagement. Using my free dinosaur coloring pages available in PDF printables above this article, you can turn simple coloring activities into amazing crafts your kids will adore. Here are eight unique ideas to get you started!

Dinosaur Masks

Materials Needed:

• Free dinosaur coloring pages (available in PDF printables above this article!)
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Craft sticks or elastic bands
• Crayons, markers, or colored pencils

Steps:

1. Pick a favorite dinosaur design from the free coloring pages. These pages offer a variety of dinosaurs, so kids can choose from a T-Rex, Triceratops, or even a Stegosaurus.
2. Color the page using crayons or markers. Encourage kids to get creative by adding unique patterns like stripes, spots, or even rainbows.
3. Carefully cut out the dinosaur shape. This step helps kids practice fine motor skills, so let them take their time.
4. Attach a craft stick to the bottom of the mask or tape an elastic band to the sides to create a wearable mask.

Safety Tip: Always supervise kids when using scissors to ensure they cut safely and avoid accidents.

Fun Tip: Try making masks for a whole dinosaur family and let the kids put on a prehistoric play. Last weekend, Mike and I made masks and had a “dino debate” at the dinner table—Lisa was the judge, and it was a roaring success!

To spark creativity, you can also explore some fun dinosaur facts from National Geographic Kids, which my children love referencing when designing their masks.

Dino-Themed Bookmarks

Materials Needed:

• Dinosaur coloring sheets
• Laminating sheets (optional)
• Hole puncher
• Ribbon
• Crayons or markers

Steps:

1. Choose a smaller dinosaur design or trim a page into a bookmark shape. For example, use a long-necked Brachiosaurus for an elongated bookmark.
2. Color it vibrantly. Encourage kids to experiment with shading or adding tiny details like flowers or a sunny background.
3. If possible, laminate it to make it last longer and protect the artwork.
4. Punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon through it. Use colorful ribbons to make the bookmarks even more eye-catching.

Helpful Idea: These bookmarks are perfect for encouraging kids to read more. Lisa loves using hers in her bedtime storybooks, and it’s a joy to see her so excited about reading!

A personalized bookmark can become a treasured keepsake. I still have a dinosaur bookmark Lisa made for me two years ago, and I use it in my favorite novel to this day.

Dinosaur Puppets

Materials Needed:

• Printable dinosaur coloring sheets
• Popsicle sticks
• Scissors
• Glue

Steps:

1. Have the kids color their dinosaurs any way they like. Don’t hesitate to suggest unusual colors like purple or teal—dinosaurs can be as imaginative as they want.
2. Carefully cut out the dinosaurs. Younger kids may need some help, so this can be a bonding activity.
3. Attach each cutout to a popsicle stick using glue.

Genius Hack: Use googly eyes for a fun, 3D effect that makes the puppets come alive.

Story Time Idea: We told a dinosaur story with these puppets that my daughter Lisa made last week. The laughs we had together were priceless. She named her puppets “Tina the Triceratops” and “Benny the Brontosaurus.”

Dino Wall Art

Materials Needed:

• Free dinosaur coloring sheets
• Picture frames or cardstock
• Glue or tape

Steps:

1. Color and personalize a dinosaur coloring page. Suggest adding the child’s name or a fun phrase like “Jurassic Artist!”
2. Mount the finished artwork onto cardstock for added sturdiness.
3. Frame it or hang it up as is. Frames can elevate the look and make kids feel like true artists.

Safety Tip: If using glass frames, ensure kids handle them carefully or let adults take care of this step.

My son Mike hung his T-Rex masterpiece on our fridge, and now it’s his “pride and joy.” Every time he sees it, he beams with pride, and it warms my heart.

Dinosaur Mobiles

Materials Needed:

• Multiple dinosaur coloring pages
• String or yarn
• A wire hanger or wooden dowel
• Tape or glue

Steps:

1. Let the kids color several dinosaur designs from the free printables. Suggest making each dinosaur a different color to create a vibrant mobile.
2. Cut out each dinosaur and attach a string to the top. Make sure the strings are of varying lengths for a cascading effect.
3. Tie the strings to a hanger or dowel, spacing them out evenly.
4. Hang it in their room for a playful touch that adds character to the space.

Smart Tip: Add stars or other shapes to the mobile for an extra magical effect. Lisa loves adding glitter to her mobiles, and it makes her room sparkle like a prehistoric wonderland.

Dino Party Hats

Materials Needed:

• Dinosaur coloring pages
• Scissors
• Tape or glue
• Elastic bands
• Crayons or markers

Steps:

1. Choose a dinosaur head design from the coloring pages. Larger designs work best for this craft.
2. Color and cut it out. Let the kids decide if they want fierce, friendly, or silly-looking dinosaurs.
3. Roll a piece of cardstock into a cone and secure it with tape.
4. Attach the dinosaur cutout to the cone and add an elastic band to wear as a hat.

Helpful Idea: These are great for birthday parties with a dinosaur theme. Lisa’s friends loved wearing them to her last birthday party. Everyone was thrilled about the “best dino hat” contest!

Dino Footprint Stamps

Materials Needed:

• Dinosaur coloring pages
• Thick cardboard
• Paint
• Scissors

Steps:

1. Pick a dinosaur with visible footprints from the free PDFs.
2. Cut out the footprint section and trace it onto cardboard.
3. Attach the cardboard cutout to a small block.
4. Dip it in paint and stamp it onto paper or fabric. Suggest creating a dino trail across a large poster.

Safety Tip: Make sure the paint is non-toxic and washable to keep it safe for little ones.

Fun Tip: Create a dino trail leading to a “treasure” or snack for an exciting scavenger hunt. Last time we did this, Mike was thrilled to discover chocolate coins at the end of the trail!

Dino Greeting Cards

Materials Needed:

• Dinosaur coloring pages
• Blank cardstock
• Glue or tape
• Markers and stickers (optional)

Steps:

1. Fold a piece of cardstock in half to make a card.
2. Color a dinosaur from the free printables and cut it out.
3. Glue the dinosaur to the front of the card.
4. Add a fun message inside like “You’re Dino-Mite!”

Genius Hack: As “prehistoric confetti,” put small pieces of colored tissue paper inside the card. This makes the surprise even better when the card is opened.

This past week, Lisa made a card for her grandmother. The touching message she wrote made her grandmother cry. We’ll never forget that moment.

Dinosaur coloring pages are not just for coloring—they’re the foundation for fun and educational crafts. From masks and bookmarks to greeting cards and mobiles, there’s no limit to the creativity these activities inspire.
