Coloring Tips
- Start with a light base**: Use light green for the dinosaur and light blue or pink for the blanket to layer stripes later.
- Striped blanket technique**: Use a ruler for straight lines, spacing them evenly before coloring.
- Enhance roundness**: Add darker shades along the curled back to emphasize dimension.
- Leave highlights**: Keep the top of the head and blanket folds white for shine.
- Add details**: Use white for eye highlights and tiny claws to bring it to life.
Fun Facts
- Did you know? Some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and needed sleep like us. Studying fossils suggests they may have curled up like modern birds!
- Stripes are common in nature—think zebras and tigers. These patterns help animals hide from predators!
- Sleeping dinosaurs likely coiled their tails like crocodiles—keeping warm and protecting their delicate tails.
- The stripes on this blanket might be woven from different-colored fibers. The earliest weaving dates back 20,000 years!
- A round head suggests this dino is a baby—just like human infants, young dinos had big heads to accommodate growing brains!
