Dragon Flying a Kite Coloring Page

About this page

Out on a grassy hill, a young dragon stands on its hind legs and grips a kite string with one front paw while looking up with a wide, open-mouthed smile. The diamond-shaped kite floats in the upper right, split into four sections by crossed sticks, and its tail carries three bows and trailing ribbon ends. Three rounded clouds drift across the top and middle, and tufts of grass and two small flowers dot the ground at the bottom. A bushy mound rises on the right edge. The dragon has spots on its chest and thigh, striped belly bands, wings spread behind it and a curled tail on the left. The long diagonal string leads the eye from the paw to the kite. Open sky and ground make this a relaxed outdoor page for kids.
