Dragon Family Snuggled in a Crystal Cave

Coloring guide
A big mother dragon bends her long neck down to look at two little dragons snuggled beside her, and the soft, curious eyes make this one easy to love. The medium-sized dragon sits close with spiky frills and a curled tail, while the tiniest hatchling rests in front with small folded wings and a spotted body. All three have scaly bellies, dotted skin and horns to color. Their cozy cave is filled with tall pointed crystals, hanging stalactites and clusters of spotted mushrooms. Older kids can dig into the large wings and many small patterns, and little ones can start with the big shapes. Icy blues and purples suit the crystals, and warm greens or oranges will make the dragons stand out. Print this free page for a classroom project or weekend craft. Love this Dragons coloring page?

- 2Color the mother's belly, chest and side scales in pale yellow, and the baby dragon's body and wings in lavender purple.
- 3Fill the wings: golden yellow for the mother's wings, ice blue for the father's wing, and leave a few white highlights on the wing spots.
- 4Color the cave background next: light gray for the rock walls and ceiling, warm brown for the floor, and ice blue for the crystals.
- 5Add the mushrooms in bright red with cream stems, and color the plants in olive gray.
- 6Finish with the faces and details: pale green and soft gold spikes on the father, amber orange on the mother's head, and leave the eye whites, teeth and sparkly highlights white. Optional: add a little darker shading under the bellies and wings to make them pop.
