Roaring Chinese Dragon Twisting in an S Curve

A long, serpentine dragon winds across the page in an S-shaped curve, its mouth wide open to show sharp teeth and a curling tongue. Branching horns rise from its head, and a shaggy mane and whiskers frame the face. Rows of small scales cover the body, with a ridged belly running down the front of the neck. Flame-like fins stick out along the back, and a feathery tuft sits at the end of the tail, trailing two long, thin ribbons that loop through the air. Four legs end in big, hooked claws, and each ankle has a fuzzy tuft of fur. Try coloring the scales in two or three shades of green and blue, then use warm reds and oranges on the mane and back fins so they look like fire. The scale texture also makes a nice small-motor practice for older kids who like detail. Print it free and let them go slowly.
