Stegosaurus Drawing
Now dinosaur fans can learn how to draw a Stegosaurus by drawing his armored body one step at a time. His large back legs and blades on his spine give him a very distinctive profile.
Would some more reasons to encourage children’s interest in drawing dinosaurs be helpful? No problem! An article titled “A Psychological Explanation for Kids’ Love of Dinosaurs” shares how learning more about these creatures is very beneficial for children’s cognitive development.
A 2008 study found that sustained interest in a conceptual domain like dinosaurs, can help children increase their knowledge, create a better attention span, and form deeper thought processing skills. In short, they make better learners and smarter kids. What could be better than that?

Materials for Stegosaurus Drawing
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tips.
- Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.
- Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.
- Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
