Sleepy Dragon Curled Up on a Pile of Gold
Coloring guide
Eyes closed and a tiny smile on his face, this sleepy little dragon is curled up on a big heap of gold coins. He has two curled horns, spots on his forehead and belly, frilly fins by his cheeks, and one wing folded up behind him. His long tail wraps across the front and ends in a point. Two goblets, two crowns, sparkling gems and a beaded necklace with a round pendant sit around him. Pointed stalactites hang from the cave ceiling above rocky walls. The coins are small and round, so older kids may like fine-tipped markers or colored pencils, while the dragon's large shapes are easy for little hands. Soft green for the dragon, bright gold coins and a few red and blue gems make good contrast. Print or download it free, and maybe keep a few spare copies handy. Looking for more?
