Coloring order

Color Sunneck's long neck, body and tail in one bright color, like yellow, with big strokes.
Fill the round spots on its body in orange one by one, and color the smoking mountain behind it in reddish brown.
Color the big palm-like trees on each side and the ferns below in green, the sun yellow and the sky pale blue.

Questions to talk about

Sunneck's neck is so long. What can it see from up high?
What is happening on the mountain with smoke behind Sunneck?
Have you seen an animal with a long neck? Where was it?

Take it further

Glue colorful paper strips end to end to make a neck as long as Sunneck's, then hold strips side by side to see whose is longest.

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.

The black-and-white line art you print and color, with clear outlines and wide areas that suit younger children.

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.
