Free T-Rex Coloring Pages

3 printable sheets · 3-12

Tyrannosaurus rex is the dinosaur almost every child can name, and it is a wonderful one to colour: a huge head, a heavy tail and two tiny arms give plenty of shape to work with.

These pages move from a big, simple roaring T-Rex for younger children up to a detailed forest scene for older ones. Underneath each sheet you will find accurate facts about where T. rex lived and how we know about it.

About the T-Rex

Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs. It lived in western North America at the very end of the Cretaceous Period, roughly 68 to 66 million years ago. It walked on two powerful back legs, carried a huge head full of long teeth, and had short arms with two fingers on each hand.

Where T-Rex lived

T. rex fossils come from the United States and Canada, in rocks that were once warm, forested river plains. The same rocks hold Triceratops, Ankylosaurus and Edmontosaurus, so those animals shared the landscape with it.

How we know about T-Rex

Everything we know comes from fossils. Dozens of partial T. rex skeletons have been dug up since the first one was described in 1905. One of the most complete, nicknamed Sue, is on display at the Field Museum in Chicago.
