Come join this cheerful little dinosaur on a boating adventure! This cute coloring card shows a small dinosaur happily paddling a paper boat, with playful little waves around it.
Coloring Tips
- Start with light blue for the base of the waves, then use dark blue to outline the wave crests for a layered effect.
- Try gradient coloring for the dinosaur’s body: light green for the belly, gradually transitioning to dark green on the back.
- Leave some white space on the paper boat as highlights, and lightly shade with light brown to show the origami texture.
- Use brown to draw short parallel lines for the wooden texture of the paddle—simple yet lively.
- For the dinosaur’s eyes, first paint a white base, then add black pupils after drying for a brighter, more expressive look.
Fun Facts
- Did you know? The earliest paper boats date back over 2,000 years to ancient China, where people folded paper boats for ancestral rituals!
- When little dinosaurs row, the splashes are actually made of countless water droplets, each like a transparent gemstone!
- Scientists discovered some dinosaurs might have been swimmers! Spinosaurus, for example, used their strong hind legs to paddle in water.
- Paper boats float because of water's surface tension - like an invisible "water skin" supporting them!
- In the dinosaur age, there were no human-made paper boats, but some dinos might have played with leaf or bark "boats"!
