Triceratops Skull Coloring Page

A free printable coloring page for dinosaur fans that lets kids color a triceratops skull arch, a winding amber river, fern frond, pterosaur wing, and distant volcano. It’s a fun, detailed scene you can print and fill in with crayons or markers.

What You See

Look down at a rugged basalt plateau that’s holding up a gigantic triceratops skull like a natural arch. The three horns frame a winding river that looks like molten amber, and right next to it a massive fern frond shoots up from a cracked egg‑shaped stone, its leaves unfurling like ancient scrolls. Hovering above, a pterosaur wing is suspended from a floating gear, casting a thin shadow, while a lone volcano in the distance puffs out pale graphite smoke that sketches the horizon.

Creative Details

The line art is pure pencil‑sketch style: bold, hand‑drawn outlines that are dark enough to stand out (about 60‑80% black) with clean white spaces inside. There’s just a hint of shading, so you get to decide where the colors go—maybe a fiery orange river, jade‑green fern, or a smoky volcano. It’s a great canvas for kids who love dinosaurs and a little bit of prehistoric mystery.

Fun Facts

Did you know triceratops had a beak for cropping plants and a solid skull that could take a serious hit? Ferns were some of the oldest plants on Earth, and pterosaurs weren’t actually dinosaurs but flying reptiles that ruled the skies. And volcanoes? They’ve shaped entire landscapes for millions of years.
