Coloring order

Color the wide frill around Triverda's neck first, using leafy greens, and switch shades a little in the spaces between the veins.
Give the single horn above the nose, the two long horns over the eyes and the beak-like mouth the same warm, light color.
Finish with the small triangle bumps along the frill's edge and the round scales on the body, alternating colors one by one.

Questions to talk about

Triverda has three horns. Can you find where each one is?
If you could hide behind that big frill, what would you do there?
This guardian protects a meadow. What would you like to protect?

Take it further

Cut a fan shape from paper, attach it behind a headband as a frill, add three rolled-paper horns, and play Triceratops herd together.

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.
