Friendly Dragon Colouring Quest

Meet this playful baby Dragon, a gentle hilltop friend who loves waving to castle visitors, exploring flower-filled paths and curling its long tail beside the sunny towers. The rounded horns, wide wings, soft belly bands, back spikes, sturdy feet and smiling face create large, clear sections that are enjoyable for young artists to colour. Try emerald green, sky blue, bright red, violet or a completely imaginary shade for the dragon’s body. Colour the belly plates a lighter cream, yellow or mint shade, then make the horns and back spikes orange, gold or purple. Use a contrasting colour inside the wings and add a slightly darker version along their strong outer edges. The tail tip can match the horns, while the claws may be pale grey or ivory. Colour the castle stones warm grey, sandy beige or pale lavender, then choose bold red, blue or yellow for the pointed roofs and waving flags. Add soft blue to the clouds, fresh greens to the grass and bright pink, orange or yellow petals to the flowers. Use smooth curved strokes along the tail, short careful strokes around the small spikes and light even strokes across the wings. Finish with darker edges around the feet and belly so this happy Dragon looks ready for a magical castle picnic.
