If you’re looking for ways to connect these colouring pages to more creative activities for children, why not try using them as story prompts?<\/p>\n
After colouring, simply ask children to name their dragon and make up a short story about them.\u00a0 You could ask helpful questions such as \u201cWhat magical land does your dragon come from?\u201d or \u201cWhat adventure does your dragon go on today?\u201d<\/p>\n
If you’re dealing with different age groups, older children could write stories themselves, while younger ones could dictate their tale for someone to write down.<\/p>\n
