Dragon Watering a Flower Coloring Page

About this page

Standing on two legs, a cheerful dragon tilts a small watering can toward a potted flower on the lower right. A few drops fall from the spout in a short curve. The dragon grins, with one eye open wide and the other visible behind a ringed horn, and it holds the can by the handle with one paw while the other steadies the side. Spots dot its shoulder, thigh and chest, and stripes wrap the belly. Wings stretch out behind, and the tail curls up on the left with a scalloped edge. The flower has round petals and two leaves, and the pot is decorated with a wavy band. The ground is left blank, so there is lots of white around the figures. The mix of spots, stripes and petals gives young colorists many small shapes to choose colors for.
