Dragon Sniffing a Flower Coloring Page

About this page

On the left, a flower with a round center, five rounded petals, a thin stem and two leaves stands in front of a dragon that has bent its long neck down to sniff it. The dragon seen in side view has a gentle smile, one large eye, and two upright horns. Two wings spread behind its back, one tall and one broad with scalloped edges, and a row of small spikes follows the spine down to a long, curving tail that lifts at the right. Four sturdy legs end in simple toes. The scene has no ground line, so both subjects float on open white paper. The flower's petals are separate, simple shapes that kids can color in one by one, which keeps the page easy.
