Learn to Draw Dinosaurs: Step-by-Step Guide for Kids

Quick answer

Use the eeBoo Learn to Draw Dinosaurs book to teach kids how to draw dinosaurs step by step. The book breaks each creature into simple shapes and builds up to a full scene.

Steps to draw a dinosaur with the book

1. Pick a dinosaur from one geological period: Open the book to a section like Jurassic or Triassic. Choose a dinosaur that looks fun—start with a simple one like a triceratops if your child is new to drawing. Common mistake: jumping to a complex dinosaur first. Start simple to build confidence.
2. Follow the sequential steps on the page: Each dinosaur is broken into 4–6 easy shapes: circles for the body, ovals for legs, triangles for spikes. Draw one shape at a time, exactly as shown. Use a pencil so you can erase and adjust. Checkpoint: if a shape looks off, compare it to the book before moving to the next step. Don't rush.
3. Add details and color after the outline is done: Once all shapes are connected and the dinosaur looks right, go over the lines with a marker or colored pencil. Use the book's example for color ideas, or invent your own. Then add the stickers from the fold-out page to decorate the scene. Common mistake: coloring before the outline is complete. Finish the drawing first, then color inside the lines.
4. Create a landscape spread at the end of the section: After finishing all dinosaurs in a geological period, turn to the two-page landscape spread. Draw the environment (trees, volcanoes, rivers) and place the dinosaurs you've learned. Use the stickers to fill in extra details. Checkpoint: don't skip the landscape—it helps kids see how dinosaurs lived together and reinforces the period theme.
