Catherine's brilliant dragon coloring pages for kids are printable and perfect for learning how to draw dragons.

Catherine's 11 and taught herself homeschool art so she knows how to draw pictures which kids love to color. She's made these printable colouring pages for kids of all ages, with simpler drawings for the youngest.

Obviously, your kids can color these homeschool colouring sheets anyhow they like.

But you might like to see Catherine's homeschooling tips on how to color your printable dragon drawings first.

The great thing about learning how to color dragon drawings is that the art skills you develop as you learn how to draw a dragon can be used in any kids art projects that involve drawing animals.

How To Draw Dragons

A great start before you begin is to follow Catherine's homeschooling page on how to draw a dragon, where she takes you through each stage step-by-step so you can learn how to make your own dragon drawings.

The bonus factor is that drawing dragons allows you to let your imagination run free with wattles, crests, horns and plumes. That frees up your drawing skills and lets you explore homeschool art projects for kids in new dimensions.

Dragon Coloring Sheets Tips:

1. Obviously, the choice of what you use to draw these printable colouring pages for kids will make a big difference to how your dragon drawings look. Whatever you choose and however young your kids please follow this tip: Buy the best homeschool crayons, pencils, felt tips, gel pens or paints you can afford to bring their drawings to life.

   

   I can never understand how parents think kids will draw lovely colouring pages with a few blunt, cheap, boring crayons. I also see homeschool craft materials as a treasure chest of temptation; if your kids look in and see all sorts of exciting things to draw with they'll enjoy all sorts of easy crafts for kids.

2. The great thing about these printable dragon coloring sheets is that you can use any color you like, but Catherine can let you into a homeschool secret: bright is best. Dragons aren't known to be shy and retiring, they're flamboyant and even sometimes a little brash!
3. Exactly what media you choose for these homeschool printable dragon colouring pages will obviously depend on the age of your child. Younger kids will obviously find fat pencils or crayons easier to draw with. Catherine's favorite homeschooling choice is a mix of good quality felt tips and colouring pencils.
