Garden with this dino! Kneeling with a tiny shovel, it plants budding flowers. Kids learn about plants and nature care while coloring. What blooms will appear in its rainbow garden? Fun for ages 3-8.
Coloring Tips
- Start with the little dinosaur's body, choosing a bright green palette. Use light green as a base, then add dark green shadows on the back and joints for depth.
- Paint the gardening trowel's blade metallic (silver-gray) and the handle wood-brown, leaving highlights for shine.
- Use gradients for the flower buds: Start with light pink/yellow, then deepen the base with darker shades for a blooming effect.
- For the ground, use light brown, then dot with dark brown near the feet for texture.
- Add white or light yellow highlights to the dinosaur's eyes and flower buds for vibrancy.
