The internet has more dragon coloring pages than your printer will survive. We're not adding to the pile. This is a small set, picked once, designed to sit on a kitchen table for an hour and then live on a fridge.
What follows is a five-step recipe for that hour, and a handful of pages worth printing. No fluff, no 25+, no panic.
The why: dragons sit in the sweet spot between scary and silly, which is exactly where a four-year-old likes to live.
Five steps to one quiet dragon hour
- 1Pick the dragon first, the snack second. Open a page in a tab, let your kid scroll for sixty seconds, hand the decision over. Print the one they pointed to.
- 2Print on plain paper. Not card stock, not photo paper. Plain paper holds crayon, marker, and watercolor pencil well enough, and you won't feel sad when the dragon ends up smudged. Two copies, in case scissors happen.
- 3Sit somewhere with one window and one cup of water. Light helps. Water is for the kid, not the page.
