Chinese Dragon

Glide into legend with this long, serpent-like Chinese dragon coiling and weaving through the air. A flowing mane and trailing whiskers frame its friendly open mouth, a row of soft spines runs down its back, four short clawed legs reach out, and a round pearl floats nearby. Chinese dragons are symbols of good luck, strength, and rain, and they are a star of New Year parades, so coloring one is a lovely way to share a bit of culture. The winding body gives you a long ribbon of scales to color section by section, which is satisfying for older kids, while younger ones can focus on the big head and mane. Try bright reds and golds for a festive feel, or invent your own scheme. Print on US Letter or A4 and let this lucky dragon dance across the page.
