Dinosaur Bridge Coloring Page

This free printable coloring page is a dinosaur-themed adventure that lets kids bring a ribcage bridge, glowing crystal egg, and ancient fossils to life. Perfect for a fun, hands‑on activity that blends prehistoric wonder with creative coloring.

What’s in the picture

Look at this wild scene – a massive dinosaur ribcage turned into a vaulted bridge spanning a misty river. On either side, giant petrified ferns stand tall like stone pillars, and hovering above the water a crystal egg glows with an inner light. Around the banks you can see ancient trilobite shells mixed with shards of volcanic glass, creating a cool mosaic texture.

Fun facts

Did you know that real dinosaur ribcages could be as big as a small house? And fossils of ferns that have turned to stone are called silicified ferns – they’re like nature’s skyscrapers. The translucent egg you see is a nod to the mysterious eggs some dinosaurs laid, which scientists are still studying. Trilobites are among the earliest animals on Earth, dating back over 500 million years.

Coloring tips

Try using blues and grays for the misty river, and give the crystal egg a soft pastel glow. The ribcage bridge looks great in shades of gray or brown, and the petrified ferns can be a mix of greens and earthy tones. Have fun mixing patterns and making the fossils pop!
