Ankylosaurus with Club Tail

Built like a living tank, the Ankylosaurus on this page is covered in rows of bony plates and small spikes, with short legs, a wide friendly face, and a thick tail that ends in a heavy round club. It is low to the ground and full of texture, which makes it a wonderfully satisfying page to color — every little plate can be its own shade. Ankylosaurus was a plant-eater that used its armored body and club tail to defend itself from predators, swinging that heavy club like a hammer. The chunky shape is easy for younger children to manage, while the patterned armor gives older kids plenty to work on. Print it on A4 or US Letter, and try coloring the plates in neat rows for a textured, scaly effect.
