A Playful Celebration of Art, Imagination, and Prehistoric Fun

National Draw a Dinosaur Day is a quirky celebration proving that creativity has no age. Whether you’re five or fifty-five, sketching a dinosaur lets you slow down, imagine, and play. From fierce T. rexes to gentle sauropods, dinosaurs spark curiosity and laughter. The day is about embracing joy with no art skills needed.

History of National Draw a Dinosaur Day

National Draw a Dinosaur Day, celebrated annually on January 30th, was created by illustrator Todd Page, known as Dinovember. The page encourages creativity and imagination through dinosaur-themed art, reminding people that drawing should be fun and accessible.
 
The idea is simple: anyone can draw a dinosaur. It doesn’t need to be accurate; if you call it a dinosaur, it is. This celebration is popular with children, teachers, parents, and creatives who value imagination over perfection.
 
Over time, National Draw a Dinosaur Day has grown on social media, in classrooms, libraries, and homes worldwide. People share their drawings online, teachers use them for lessons, and families enjoy a screen-free creative activity.

How to Celebrate National Draw a Dinosaur Day

Celebrating National Draw a Dinosaur Day is a delight—grab whatever you have to draw with and embrace the fun! Grab paper and draw any dinosaur you imagine. It could be inspired by real dinosaurs like Triceratops or Velociraptor, or one you invent. Add wings, extra eyes, patterns, or a hat. There are no rules.
 
With children, turn it into a joyful activity session. Read a dinosaur book, watch a documentary, and then let kids bring their dinosaur dreams to life on paper. For classrooms or homeschool, this festive day adds extra excitement to art, history, science, and storytelling.
 
Adults can join the fun, too. Use the day as a happy, mindful break to relax and doodle. Sharing your artwork on social media with #DrawADinosaurDay spreads the celebration even further.
For extra celebration, create a story or name your dinosaur. Where does it live? What does it eat? Is it friendly or fierce? Your festive drawing now stars as the hero of its own world.
