Apatosaurus

Little Explorer Ages 4 to 6 · Bold simple detail Level 2/5

Tested by kids aged 4 to 6

Meet the mighty Apatosaurus, a long-necked sauropod with a curved tail and sturdy legs, munching on palm leaves in a prehistoric landscape. This gentle giant has a friendly expression and a small plant in its mouth, surrounded by ferns and desert plants below. Learn the fascinating history of how this dinosaur was once called Brontosaurus when scientists discovered its bones separately and confused them for two different creatures.

Coloring tip

Color the Apatosaurus in warm greens or browns to give it a natural prehistoric look, then use bright greens for the palm leaves and ferns to make the plants pop. Keep the background simple with sandy yellows and light blues for the sky.
