Dragon Holding a Crystal Coloring Page

About this page

Seated with its feet stretched out in front, a baby dragon hugs a tall, six-sided crystal in both front paws. The crystal is drawn with a pointed top, a few straight facet lines and a long narrow body, and it sits right in the middle of the page. The dragon tilts its head slightly and smiles, with large sparkling eyes, two ringed horns and a small crest on its forehead. Small fin-like ears flare out on each side, and the two wings behind it have simple rib lines. A thick tail curls up from the lower left. The outline is bold and the shapes are big, with nothing in the background. The crystal facets give a little structure to color, and the simple layout suits younger kids.
