Dragon Coloring Pages
Make free printable dragon coloring pages from 12 dragons we drew ourselves: a standing dragon with its wings up, a dragon flying, a long coiled dragon with no wings, a baby dragon hatching from its egg, a big dragon head with horns and teeth, a dragon asleep on a pile of coins, a dragon breathing fire, a dragon on a castle tower, two baby dragons, three dragon eggs in a nest, a close-up dragon eye and a dragon sitting up with its wings out. Every dragon is our own drawing, with no film, book, game or toy dragons, no mascots and no people, so the pages suit any home, party or classroom. Print one big dragon on a page, a grid of four or six small dragons, a dragon flying past a castle, a fold-in-half card, or a dragon mandala with flames round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank dragons to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain standing-dragon outlines per page, ready for scales, spikes and colors of your own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same dragon for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Blank dragons to design
| Dragons per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 mm square |
| 2 | 120 mm square | 129 mm square |
| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each blank outline is a standing-dragon outline (15 shapes) with no face or pattern, so the design is up to you.
Simple to detailed lines
| Lines | Outlines | Small details | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |

Frequently asked questions
Are these dragon coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is free to make, download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark. All the pictures are our own drawings.
Are any film or game dragons included?
No. All the dragons are our own drawings, not characters from films, books, games or toys.
Why does one dragon have no wings?
Dragons are made-up creatures, and stories tell them in different ways. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis writes that the winged, four-legged, fire-breathing dragon is mainly a European idea, while East Asian dragons are often wingless and long like a serpent. The long coiled dragon is our drawing in that long, wingless style.
Can children design their own dragon?
Yes. Choose Blank dragons to design and pick 1, 2, 4 or 6 per page. Each is a plain standing-dragon outline with no face, ready for scales, spots or stripes. With no title, one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter; six fill 77 mm squares.
Which dragon pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The dragon eggs in a nest and the dragon eye have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there dragon coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Dragon mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
