Coloring Tips

  • Start with a light base: Apply light green or blue to the dinosaur and camping bag for easy shadow layering.
  • Campfire gradient: Color from yellow (center) to orange to red (outer edges) for brightness variation.
  • Star technique: Use a fine-tip pen or toothpick dipped in white paint to dot stars of varying sizes, some with yellow halos.
  • Backpack details: Outline seams and pockets in dark colors for dimension.
  • Ground shadow: Lightly shade gray under the dinosaur and campfire for depth.

Fun Facts

  • Did you know? Dinosaurs saw "stars" too—but not the same ones we do, as stars shift over time!
  • Camping packs are modern, but some dinos gathered branches for nests—like carrying "natural backpacks"!
  • Your campfire dino reminds us: though dinos didn’t make fire, lightning wildfires shaped their ecosystems.
  • Stargazing dinos hint some were nocturnal! Eye fossils show certain species saw well at night.
  • Fun fact: Campfire air may contain oxygen molecules from the dino era!
