About This Triceratops Side View Coloring Page
The Triceratops side view coloring page is a wonderful spark for curiosity and imagination. Imagine this gentle giant strolling through ferns while you choose its colors, and invite kids to think about texture as they color the frill, horns, and tough skin. In the classroom, try a coloring center where each child colors a different pattern, then assemble a prehistoric mural for a lively bulletin board. At home, this printable makes a cozy rainy day project. Pair it with a picture book about dinosaurs and let children invent a short story about where the Triceratops is going. For a simple extension, ask kids to label parts like horns, frill, and tail, or create a matching activity with facts about plant eating dinosaurs. Encourage mixing crayons, colored pencils, and light watercolor washes for varied effects, and suggest using a slightly darker color to shade below the belly and inside the frill. This page is free and printable, and it offers lots of ways to explore art, science, and storytelling together.
Coloring Tips & Techniques
Try coloring the body with warm greens or earthy browns, and add lighter yellow or cream along the belly to show roundness. Color the frill with a brighter shade like orange or red, and add small dots or stripes for detail. Use a darker pencil along the horn edges and under the belly to create shadows and make the dinosaur look three dimensional.
