Dino Sneeze Fun Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Beginning: Mama Stego had arranged the picnic perfectly. Red berries made a smiley face on the mossy ground. Juicy ferns stood up like a tiny forest. "It's a picture!" she said, clapping her front feet. Papa Rex sniffed the air, his giant nose twitching. "I smell... deliciousness! And... and... something else..."

Middle: A tiny, fluffy seed from a dandelion-tree floated right up Papa Rex’s nose. His eyes went wide. His chest puffed out. "Ah... ah... ah..." he rumbled. Trixie and Leo dove for cover. "He's going to blow!" squealed Trixie. With a sound that shook the leaves from the trees, Papa Rex let out a mighty, "AHH-CHOO-SAURUS!" The giant sneeze sent everything flying! Berries rolled, ferns tumbled, and the big blanket flipped over like a leaf in the wind. The perfect picnic was a higgledy-piggledy mess. Papa Rex looked very embarrassed, his big face turning a little red.

Ending: Instead of being upset, Mama Stego started to giggle. A little giggle at first, then a big, hearty laugh. Soon, Trixie and Leo were laughing, too. "Well," said Papa Rex, chuckling. "That was a windy lunch!" They made a new game out of it: The Great Picnic Hunt! They found berries under rocks and ferns in a bush. It wasn't the perfect picnic Mama had planned, but as they all sat together eating their rescued food, they agreed it was much more fun.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The exaggerated expressions and clear cause-and-effect action are easy for 3-5 year olds to understand and find humorous. The large, simple shapes of the flying food and the big outline of Papa Rex provide ample space for coloring, suiting their developing motor skills.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Oh my, what a big sneeze! Can you help put the color back into the picnic? You can make the flying berries bright red and the ferns super green. What color is Papa Rex? Maybe he's a little red in the face from sneezing so hard! Use your favorite colors to make this silly scene even funnier.

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this page on medium-weight cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Standard letter-sized paper works well for crayons. Set your printer to a high-quality 'black and white' or 'grayscale' setting to get the crispest lines.

Recommended Tools

Washable markers will make the flying food pop with color! Large, easy-to-grip crayons are also fantastic for filling in the big shape of Papa Rex. Remember to color on a protected surface. Let's make some colorful chaos!
