Coloring Tips
- Start large**: Color the dinosaur’s body first, then the spines and details to avoid smudging.
- Spine technique**: Use short strokes in the spine’s direction, layering dark edges over a light base.
- Depth**: Darken the belly and tail underside, lighten the back.
- Expression**: Smoothly outline smiling eyes and mouth with dark colors.
- Creativity**: Try contrasting spine colors (e.g., red on green) for vibrancy.
Fun Facts
- This might be a Stegosaurus! Its spiky plates helped regulate body temperature—like natural "air conditioning"!
- A raised tail might signal happiness, like a wagging dog’s tail—scientists think dinos used body language too!
- Despite its fierce look, the Stegosaurus was a peaceful plant-eater, munching on low ferns.
- Those jagged plates could grow up to 60 cm tall—like tiny mountain ranges on its back!
- A Stegosaurus’ brain was walnut-sized, but its hip nerve cluster was bigger—so it might’ve "thought with its butt"!
