Friendly Brachiosaurus Coloring Page

About this page

A tall, long-necked dinosaur stands alone on the page, its neck stretching far above its round body and its head turned slightly to look out at the viewer with a friendly grin. The body is a big smooth dome, held up by four thick legs with small toe nails and a few wrinkle lines at the knees, and the tail sweeps out to the left and curls up at the tip. There is no ground line, no plants and no other creatures, only a wide field of white around the animal. Because the lines are thick and there are almost no inner details, this brachiosaurus is made up of just a few huge shapes. That makes it an easy page and a good first dinosaur for toddlers and young kids who want quick, satisfying results with a chunky crayon.
