Kid’s word search: dinosaurs

This puzzle is a 12 by 12 square grid – words may be hidden in any direction, including diagonally!

Are you ready to travel back in time to when dinosaurs ruled the Earth? Get your pencils ready and sharpen your eyes—our dinosaur word search is packed with prehistoric fun!

From the sharp-toothed Allosaurus to the mighty Brontosaurus, you’ll discover the names of some of the coolest dinos that ever lived. Can you spot the speedy Velociraptor or the three-horned Triceratops? What about the long-necked Diplodocus or the armored Stegosaurus?

Look closely—you might also find words like claws, eggs, prey, and predator, which help tell the story of how these ancient creatures lived. And don’t forget extinct—a big word that means dinosaurs aren’t around anymore.

Don’t worry if some words are tricky—just like a real dinosaur hunter, you’ll need patience and sharp eyes. Have fun, and see if you can find all the dinosaur words!
