Dragon in a Sailboat Coloring Page

About this page

Sitting inside a small wooden sailboat, a happy dragon rests both front paws on the rail and smiles toward the viewer. A tall mast rises behind it with a pennant flag at the top and a large triangular sail marked with horizontal lines. The boat hull shows plank stripes, and layered wavy lines run across the bottom of the page with a small splash on each side. In the upper left, a sun with short rays shines near a cloud, and another cloud floats at the upper right. The dragon's horns, fin ears, spotted body and curled tail poke up over the edge of the boat, with one wing visible on the left. The sea, sky and boat give clear zones to color. It is a bright, sunny scene that suits kids who like water themes.
