Parasaurolophus Drummer Coloring Page

About this page

Standing upright on two sturdy legs, a duck-billed dinosaur plays a small marching drum that hangs from two straps over its shoulders. One hand raises a drumstick high on the right while the other taps the drum's side, and the dinosaur looks off to the right with an open, laughing mouth. A long curved crest sweeps backward from the top of its head and carries stripe lines, and more stripes mark the neck, back and tail. The drum has metal-looking rims and a zigzag pattern of triangles around its body. Its long tail curls to the left. The whole figure stands alone on white paper, so the drum and the stripes are the main places to add color. It is a medium page for kids who like music, with plenty of simple shapes between the stripes.
