Coloring tips for this stegosaurus printable

Use one main green or blue-green shade for the stegosaurus body, then make the large back plates slightly lighter or darker so they stand out clearly.
The flowers in front of the stegosaurus are a great place for bright pink, yellow, or orange, while the rocks can stay soft gray or tan to keep attention on the dinosaur.
Color the forest around the stegosaurus in gentle greens and browns so the dinosaur remains the main focus of the coloring page.
For the stegosaurus tail, add a slightly deeper shade along the curve to help the shape look round and easy to see.
If you use markers on this free PDF, place an extra sheet under the printable before coloring the sun and clouds near the top of the page.
