Estimated time: 20–30 min
Difficulty: Medium
Areas to color: about 160

Coloring order

Color the long neck stretching up high and the big body in one soft sky blue first, keeping your strokes smooth.
Swirly cloud patterns run along the neck, back and tail. Leave some white and fill others with blue or pale violet, taking turns.
Use a slightly deeper color for Nimbusaur's four thick legs and feet, then mark the small head and eye last.

Questions to talk about

With a neck this long, how high could it see?
Where would you travel on a cloud riding Nimbusaur's back?
Have you ever looked up at clouds? What did they look like?

Take it further

Look at the clouds out a window, then draw the shape of one on blank paper. Imagine it as a brand-new swirl on Nimbusaur's back.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
