Curled Sleeping Dragon Coloring Page

About this page

Curled up in a loose circle, a little dragon sleeps with its chin resting on its front paws and its eyes closed in two gentle arcs. A mild smile shows it is deep in a pleasant dream. Two ringed horns and a ruff of pointed spikes frame the head on the left. Folded wings rise over the back, the near one showing a few ribs, and a row of triangle spikes follows the spine toward the right. The long tail sweeps around the front of the body and finishes in a leaf-shaped tip near the paws, with stripes along its underside. The whole shape fits in a rounded cluster in the middle of the page, with nothing else drawn around it. The simple layout and large body areas suit kids who want a restful, easy page.
