36 Free Dragon Coloring Pages to Print

36 free printables Any paper size 300 dpi No sign-up

A dragon asleep on a pile of coins, one climbing out of a cracked egg, a Chinese dragon coiled on the clouds under a full moon, and one building a sandcastle for reasons the drawing keeps to itself. Two of them breathe fire. The other thirty-four are hatchlings, gardeners and readers, which is the dragon most children have in mind when they ask for one.

Click any drawing to print it. The sheet opens in a new tab and the print dialog does the rest, with every paper size your printer offers. Prefer a batch? Tap + on each drawing you want, then print the whole pile in one go from your pile.

These printable dragon coloring pages are free in the plain sense. No account, no email address, no watermark across the wings. Every drawing is a 300 dpi PDF and prints on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included, so the scales stay separate lines instead of a gray blur. The cute dragon coloring pages, the hatchlings and the garden scenes, are the ones a four-year-old reaches for first.

What you will find on this page

These dragons keep busy. One builds a sandcastle. One pushes a wheelbarrow of gems while wearing a suit. One wears an apron and works at a table with gears and a wrench. Another cooks fish over a fire in a brick oven. There is a dragon in a striped shirt holding a flower, and one on a throne wearing a crown, reading by torchlight.

The classic ones are here too: a dragon breathing fire on a cliff beside a castle, a Chinese dragon on swirling clouds under a full moon, one asleep on a heap of coins and crystals. Three sheets show a dragon hatching from an egg, which children ask for more often than the fire-breathing ones.

Easy dragon coloring pages for young children

The hatchlings and the sleeping dragons are the simplest. A rounded body, small wings, a curled tail, with an egg or a nest around them. Nothing here has teeth on display, and a four-year-old reads these as babies rather than beasts.

Scales, wings and hoards for older children

The scales are drawn individually along the back and tail, and the wings are open panels with visible ribs. The hoard sheets are the slowest on the page, with coins and crystals to fill one at a time, and the Chinese dragon's swirling clouds run the length of the drawing. Anyone who enjoys that will find the same density on the monster coloring pages, where a good half of the creatures are dragons.

Water, sky and space

Two dragons swim in the ocean among seaweed, one paddles a pond between the lily pads, and one flies through space trailing stars. For more of that setting, the dinosaur coloring pages share the prehistoric end and the unicorn coloring pages the magical one.

What to do with them once they are colored

Color the hatching dragon, cut along the crack in the shell, and hinge the top half with a strip of tape. The egg opens and the dragon is inside, which is worth the two extra minutes.

The fire-breathing sheet works well on a bedroom door. And a set of four dragons colored in four different schemes, pinned in a row, becomes a family with names before the end of the afternoon.

Printing your dragon coloring pages

Are these dragon coloring pages free?

Yes. Take the PDF and print it. No account, no address to type in, no watermark laid over the drawing, and no cap on how many you print.

Are any of these scary?

Two, if a five-year-old counts fire as scary: one on a cliff facing a castle and one in the clouds. The rest are sitting in gardens or asleep on their gold. Nothing here bares teeth at anybody.

Why are the scales drawn so large?

So a crayon fits inside one. Real scales would be a hundred overlapping shapes and would print as a gray patch. Here a wing or a back is a dozen open areas, and a child who wants a green dragon with a purple stripe can have one.

What is the Chinese dragon doing here?

Sitting on a cloud with the moon behind it. It is drawn long and legged rather than winged, and it colors quite differently from the others, which is the point of putting it in.

What paper size should I print on?

Whichever the printer holds. More settings in the print dialog opens the list, US Letter at 8.5 by 11 inches and A4 at 210 by 297 millimeters included, and the drawing is redrawn at 300 dpi to suit. A dragon rewards a large sheet if yours goes bigger.

Can I print a set for a party or a class?

Yes. A dragon theme carries a birthday table or a wet Wednesday equally well. Print what the room needs without asking. The one restriction is that the files are not yours to sell.
