Coloring Tips
- Start with a light green base for the dinosaur’s body, then add dark green stripes on the back and tail tip for depth.
- Paint the rocking horse’s body in brown, then use contrasting colors (like red or blue) for the saddle and decorations.
- Focus on the dinosaur’s expression: lightly sketch happy eyes and mouth with a pencil before coloring.
- Use alternating shades of brown on the horse’s curves to mimic wood grain.
- Keep the background simple with light blue clouds to highlight the main scene.
Fun Facts
- Did you know? Though dinosaurs are extinct, scientists believe birds are their descendants! Just like this little dino riding a rocking horse, modern birds play similar games too!
- Rocking horses date back to the 17th century—aristocratic children loved them, just like our happy little dino!
- Many dinosaurs actually had feathers! If this little dino were real, it might have been covered in colorful plumage instead of smooth skin.
- Dinosaur tails were crucial for balance. See how this one’s tail is raised? It’s working hard to stay steady on the rocking horse!
- The earliest rocking horses were made with real horsehair! But today’s kids (and dinos) ride safer wooden or plastic ones.
