Waving Dragon Coloring Page

About this page

Sitting upright with a big smile, this dragon raises one front paw in a friendly wave on the left side of the page. The open mouth shows a tongue, the eyes are large with bright highlights, and two long, curved horns lift off the head. Behind the round belly, one wing opens at the left and another at the right, and a row of small spikes follows the neck. The tail swings around at the lower right and ends in a heart-like tip. Both back feet and one front foot rest on the ground with three rounded toes each. There is no scenery at all, only the dragon, so the large belly, wings and neck are open for big, quick color strokes. It is an easy, welcoming page for kids.
