Home›Dinosaur Coloring Pages — Free Printable PDFs
By: Papaya Ink Team · Last updated: October 14, 2026
Long before the famous giants of the late dinosaur age, Allosaurus ruled the Jurassic. Lean, fast and built like an athlete, with a deep skull, a pair of small horn-like crests above the eyes and three hooked claws on each hand, it is one of the best-studied predators in the fossil record and a favorite of museum halls across the American West. These free printable Allosaurus coloring pages bring that animal back to life in rich, realistic scenes: a full prehistoric world of conifers, ferns, rivers, cliffs and distant herds, drawn with enough detail to keep a grown-up colorist happily busy for an evening.
The collection leans toward detailed, realistic dinosaur coloring pages for adults, teens and serious young dino fans, the kind of sheets where scales, bark, water and stone all invite slow, careful work. They are just as welcome in a classroom, a homeschool Jurassic unit, a library program or a rainy-day stack at the kitchen table. Nobody knows what color an Allosaurus really was, so every choice is fair: earthy camouflage, bold stripes, bird-bright crests or something no paleontologist would ever sign off on. Colored pencils, fine markers, gel pens and watercolor pencils all work beautifully here.

Fun Things to Make with These Coloring Pages
- Build a paleo-art gallery wall: color a few favorite scenes, trim the margins and hang them in simple frames in a study, a hallway or a dino fan's bedroom.
- Make a Jurassic field journal: slip finished pages into a binder and add a handwritten fact card for each one about size, diet, claws and where the fossils were found.
- Run a color theory experiment: print the same scene several times and try a different palette on each, such as desert camouflage, forest greens, tiger stripes and bright bird-like display colors, then compare.
- Stage a shoebox diorama: cut out a finished Allosaurus, glue it to cardstock with a fold-back tab and stand it in a box lined with painted ferns, rocks and a paper volcano.
- Turn a page into a puzzle: glue a colored sheet to thin cardboard, draw puzzle lines on the back and cut it into pieces for a homemade jigsaw.
- Host a dinosaur coloring night: print a stack, set out pencils and markers, and let every guest, adult or child, finish one page for a shared wall display.
- Practice texture techniques: use these pages to try stippling for scales, cross-hatching for shadow, a white gel pen for wet highlights and a blender pencil for smooth skies.
- Create a museum-style exhibit label: mount a finished page on black cardstock and add a typed label with the name Allosaurus, the Jurassic period and the colorist's name.
- Make birthday party decor: string colored pages into a banner, use them as placemats or roll one up with a few pencils as a party favor.
- Send dinosaur mail: print a page at a reduced scale, color it, fold it into a card and mail it to a friend who still loves dinosaurs.
