Butterfly on the Nose of a Baby Dragon
Coloring guide
Sitting upright in the grass with a big open-mouth smile, this chubby baby dragon has a little butterfly perched right on the tip of its nose. It has large shiny eyes, two striped horns, small spikes along its head and back, a belly with curved stripes, and two bat-style wings spread to the sides. Four more butterflies flutter across the top of the page, and daisy-like flowers and grass tufts fill the bottom corners. Thick, clean outlines and roomy shapes work well for younger kids with crayons or chunky markers. A soft green body, sunny yellow belly stripes, and pink or purple wings leave the butterflies and flowers free for other bright colors. Print this one as a PDF for a quiet afternoon at home or in class. Browse more Dragons coloring pages, or explore Elf and Fairy for even more fun.

- 3Color the belly stripes and the lower belly in pale yellow, leaving small gaps between the stripes.
- 4Add the back spikes and the tail spike in deep green, and the tail spike near the tail in forest green.
