About this coloring page
A big dragon with pointed horns, a round tummy crossed by two stripes and a long tail sits beside a much smaller baby dragon. A curved, fan-shaped wing reaches out over the little one's head like an umbrella, and two hearts float in the sky above them.
This is a sweet page for talking about families, whether that means a parent and child, a grandparent and grandchild, or older and younger siblings. The shapes are big and simple, though the wing passes close to the baby's horns, so slow down a little there.
Color ideas
- Color the big dragon and the baby in matching colors, or let your child choose a different color for each one.
- Fill the two hearts with red and pink, or with each dragon's own color, as if each is sending love to the other.
- Give the fan-shaped wing a soft fade, darker where it meets the big dragon and lighter at its far edge.
Did you know?
- A Chinese legend says the dragon has nine sons, each with its own personality, from one that loves music to one that likes carrying heavy loads.
- The dragon is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. The most recent Year of the Dragon began in 2024, and the next one comes in 2036.
