Pteranodon Carrying a Flower Coloring Page

About this page

A pteranodon flies from right to left across an open sky, carrying a large flower in its long beak by its leafy stem. The flower has five round petals around a circular center and hangs below the bird at the lower right, with a small leaf beside it. Two wings stretch wide to each side with finger-like bones showing as lines across the thin skin, and the tall pointed crest sweeps up from the back of the head. Two feet tuck up beneath the body. A puffy cloud floats at the upper left and another sits at the upper right, each a simple outlined shape. With only a few big objects and lots of white around them, this medium page gives kids a calm spot for a sky of their own choosing. The wing panels are neat spaces to try two colors at once.
