Mushu Dragon Head With Big Eyes and Long Whiskers

A cartoon dragon head fills the page, shown close up and turned slightly to the side. It has two big round eyes with small shiny pupils, and the brows are raised so it looks a little surprised. The wide mouth is open in a toothy grin, with jagged teeth along the bottom and a rounded snout at the tip. Two long, thin whiskers curve down and away from the face, and a big floppy ear or fin hangs on the left. Spiky tufts of fur sit around the cheek and neck, with a few pointed ridges on top of the head. This looks like Mushu from Mulan. The lines are bold and the shapes are big, so it works well for younger kids with chunky crayons. Try red and orange for the body, then pick a bright contrasting color for the whiskers so the thin lines stand out. You could also ask kids to describe the dragon's mood as they color.
