Steggy’s colors
Steggy looks the same on every page, and his colors stay the same too:
- Orange body.
- Cream belly.
- Orange spots on his head and body.
- Yellow rounded plates on his back.
- Cream spikes on his tail.
- Big glossy brown eyes with white highlights.
- Cream claws on his three-toed feet.
- Eyes closed on the two sleeping pages (pages 5 and 24).
- Mama looks the same as Steggy, only larger, with longer eyelashes.
Steggy’s plates are the fun part to color. Pick two or three colors and repeat them across the plates in a pattern: alternate them, or grade one color from light to dark. Keep his body quieter than his plates, with the belly lighter than the back, so the plates stand out. On page 9 Steggy paints his own plates for fun, but the paint is just for play: his plates stay yellow underneath.
Those are Steggy’s colors in the book. Your child can follow them, or choose any colors they like. Steggy grows from a tiny hatchling into a big stegosaurus, but he is the same Steggy on every page.
Stegosaurus fun facts for curious kids
- A Stegosaurus had two staggered rows of big, bony plates along its back and four sharp spikes on its tail.

Creative ways to enjoy Steggy’s stegosaurus coloring pages
- Count while you color: count the seven leaves on page 4, the one ladybug on page 11, the two puddles on page 14, the five blocks on page 15, the four spikes on page 16, the eight stars on page 19, the three wheels on page 20, the five cookies on page 21, and the two balloons on page 25.
- Compare the first and last page: look at Steggy on page 1, a tiny hatchling standing in the grass, then at Steggy on page 25, a big stegosaurus celebrating with his friends under the balloons.
- Give Steggy a season: color the hatchling pages in spring greens, the little pages in summer golds, and the night pages in deep blues.
- Make a night scene: color page 19, Steggy under eight stars and a crescent moon, and page 24, sleepy Steggy under one star, and put them side by side.
- Tell the day back: ask your child to retell Steggy’s day using the finished pages, from hatching out of his egg to the big celebration.
