Dragon Holding an Egg Coloring Page

About this page

Seated on its haunches, a friendly dragon hugs a large egg against its chest with both front paws. The egg is covered with oval spots of different sizes, and it takes up most of the middle of the page. The dragon peeks over the top with a wide smile, ringed horns, a small spiky crest and big shining eyes. Wings rise on both sides of the head, and a tail with scallop edges curls up at the right, ending in a heart-shaped tip. The feet at the bottom show three toes each. No scene surrounds the figure, so the spotted egg is the main focus. Its separate oval spots give young colorists clear, closed shapes to fill, which fits an easy page for kids.
