Dragon with a Backpack Coloring Page

About this page

Ready for a trip, a smiling dragon stands on a gentle slope with a small backpack on its back, gripping both shoulder straps with its front paws. The pack has a buckled flap and sits behind its left shoulder. To the right, a round leafy tree with a thick trunk rises from the crest of the hill, and grass tufts are scattered across the ground. The dragon faces forward with large eyes, ringed horns and a row of small spikes, and its wings spread behind. A curled tail with a scalloped ridge sits on the left. Stripes run down its belly. The tree crown with a wavy outline gives the page a nice contrast to the smooth dragon. It is a calm outing scene for kids.
