Coloring Prehistoric Tree Resin

Amber is not a traditional rock, but rather fossilized tree resin that hardened millions of years ago. As sticky resin dripped down pine tree bark, it often trapped small creatures and plants. Our fossil coloring sheets let you examine these ancient time capsules up close.

Teachers can use these pages during a science lesson to explain how paleontologists study extinct species.

• Use warm shades of golden yellow, orange, and deep brown to capture the translucent glow.
• Add dark grays and blacks for the prehistoric mosquitoes, ants, and spiders trapped inside.
• Color the surrounding dirt and rocks using earthy tones to contrast with the bright gem.

Blending Colors for a Translucent Effect

Creating a realistic gemstone look requires blending multiple colors. Start with a light yellow base, then slowly add layers of orange and red around the edges to give the stone a glowing, three-dimensional appearance.

If you are coloring the royal palace scenes, try adding metallic gold or silver to the tiaras and wands. You can blend these fantasy elements with natural gemstone colors to create a unique royal portrait.
