Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 8–11
Estimated time: 40–60 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 260

Coloring order

Start with Duneskar's broad wing membranes, neck and body in sandy tones and golden orange.
Use pale yellow for the belly and the rows of scales under the neck, and a deeper orange for the horns and mane behind the head.
Last, color the feet at the ends of the long legs and the pointed spikes down the tail in two shades of brown.

Questions to talk about

What kind of footprints would Duneskar leave in the sand?
Where might Duneskar be heading across a desert full of blowing sand?
Have you ever played in sand? What did you build?

Take it further

Use a stick to draw Duneskar's big footprints and dragging tail in a sandbox. No sand? Rub the side of a crayon over paper for a rough texture.

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.
