Brachiosaurus Hanging Stars Coloring Page

About this page

Rising on tall legs with a long, spotted neck, this brachiosaurus holds the end of a curved leafy branch in its mouth. Three star-shaped ornaments dangle from the branch on short strings, and a few leaves sit at the far right end. Large oval spots run down the neck, along the back and onto the tail, while the front legs stand straight and the back foot is partly hidden behind. The tail swings out to the lower left and curls at the tip. The dinosaur looks off to the right with a soft smile, and the whole composition has nothing else in it, so the stars hang in clear air. The long neck is a tall canvas for patterns, which makes it a medium page for kids who like a holiday or decorating theme.
