Mythical Dragon Facts to Share While You Color

To make your adventure even more epic, why not learn about the history behind these legendary beasts? As you choose the perfect fiery reds, emerald greens, and deep purples for your dragon coloring pages, share these fun mythical facts:

• Eastern vs. Western Dragons: Did you know there are two main types of dragons in mythology? Western dragons (from Europe) usually have large bat-like wings and breathe fire, while Eastern dragons (from China and Japan) are often long, snake-like creatures associated with water, wisdom, and good luck. You can find both styles in our dragon coloring pages!
• Dinosaur Discoveries: Many historians believe that ancient people invented stories about dragons after finding massive dinosaur fossils buried in the earth. Before science could explain dinosaurs, giant bones were assumed to belong to dragons!
• The Welsh Dragon: The country of Wales has a bright red dragon right on its national flag! The legend of the Welsh dragon dates back over a thousand years.
• Dragon Symbolism: In many Asian cultures, the dragon is the ultimate symbol of power, strength, and good fortune for people who are worthy of it. Keep that powerful energy in mind while completing your dragon coloring pages.
