If your child asks for dinosaurs even in December, let them lead the holiday story. These five original BoysColor pages place friendly imaginary dinosaurs in Christmas scenes, each with one small design or storytelling task.

You only need ordinary paper and crayons. Choose one printable for a quiet afternoon or use several over the holidays. No cutting, gluing, or hanging is required, and the colorful image above is an illustration rather than a paid-product preview.

Pick the kind of play your child likes

The ornament and scarf sheets suit pattern-makers. The gift and snowy scene invite a little story. The card has an open area for a message to someone special.

  1. Print one page rather than the whole set if you prefer.
  2. Offer two or three colors to start.
  3. Let the child add drawings or simply color the outlines.

1. Decorate dinosaur ornaments

Give each ornament a different dinosaur-inspired pattern: spikes, footprints, egg shapes, or scales. A younger child can just fill the large ornament areas.

  1. Choose a pattern for the first ornament.
  2. Make a different pattern on another.
  3. Pick which one is the dinosaur’s favorite.

Ask your child: Which ornament would your dinosaur choose?

2. Wrap a mystery present

The big gift has room for a repeated design. Keep the contents secret and let someone guess from clues you invent.

  1. Color the ribbon.
  2. Add one repeated pattern to the box.
  3. Give three clues about what could be inside.

Ask your child: What surprise would your dinosaur put in the box?

3. Design a warm winter scarf

Use two colors and one simple motif across the long scarf. The dinosaur itself stays easy to color so the scarf can be the focus.

  1. Pick two scarf colors.
  2. Repeat dots, stripes, or your own motif.
  3. Count how often the motif appears.

Ask your child: Would your dinosaur share its scarf with a friend?

4. Make a dinosaur holiday card

Write a short greeting in the blank banner. An adult can write down a younger child’s words. The page can be displayed flat; only fold it if it works for your paper.

  1. Color the dinosaur and winter details.
  2. Choose the person who will receive the greeting.
  3. Write or dictate a short message.

5. Complete a snowy celebration scene

Two dinosaurs are waiting in a winter clearing. Add a decoration, a gift, and a guest in the open areas, then color the celebration.

  1. Draw one decoration.
  2. Add a gift and a guest.
  3. Tell what happens after everyone arrives.
