Friendly Spinosaurus Coloring Page

About this page

Standing on two strong legs with a tail stretched out behind, this spinosaurus turns its long, crocodile-like snout to the left and opens its mouth to show a row of small teeth. A tall fan-shaped sail rises from its back, with thin lines running up from the base like the ribs of a hand fan. Its arms are held up in front of the chest, each hand with three curved claws, and each foot has three long toes with pointed nails. The body lines are smooth and simple with only a few lines for the neck and belly. No background or ground is drawn. The sail is the main place for color, and the long snout, body and tail are open areas. It is an easy page for kids who like a bigger, fiercer-looking dinosaur drawn in a friendly way.
