About this coloring page
A tiny dinosaur bursts out of a large egg, its head and arms poking above the jagged top edge of the shell. It smiles with its eyes closed, a row of spikes runs down its back, and a few spots dot its head. The egg below is cracked all over with zigzag lines that break it into big pieces.
Coloring ideas
Color the egg pieces in pastel spots or stripes, or give each piece its own color like a mosaic. The baby dinosaur can match its egg or be a surprising contrast, such as an orange baby in a blue egg. Add a nest of twigs and leaves under the egg to finish the picture.
Skills practiced
Many animals hatch from eggs, including birds, turtles, snakes and dinosaurs, so this page opens up a great sorting chat about animals that hatch and animals that do not. Retelling what happens first, next and last as the baby hatches practices story sequencing.
Printing tips
This one is great for spring or for a dinosaur birthday party activity. Crayons work fine; if you use markers on the egg pieces, a heavier paper keeps the colors from bleeding into each other.
