Dragon Beside a Rock Coloring Page

About this page

Crouched low with its chest near the ground, a small dragon peers at a smooth, rounded rock at the lower left. Two tufts of grass stand at the rock's base. The dragon's head tilts down with a wide smile, large eyes, and two curved horns that bend forward. Behind it, two wings lift at different heights, and a row of triangle spikes runs along the back to a tail that curves up at the right and ends in a heart-like tip. The front paws rest by the rock, and the hind foot at the right shows three toes. The rock is a single big shape with no cracks, so it can take any color or texture. It is an easy page for kids who like simple, playful scenes.
