Estimated time: 60–85 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 350

Coloring order

Color the feather rows of Lunacrest's two raised wings in layers: deep blue, medium blue, then light blue.
Paint the tightly packed scales across the chest and belly very lightly in a pale silver-gray, almost white.
Last, color the curved horns on the head, the tail feathers hanging below and the claws on the front feet in navy.

Questions to talk about

What do you think Lunacrest is guarding on a moonlit night?
The wing feathers change size one after another. Which ones are the longest?
Have you seen a full moon or a crescent moon? What shape was it?

Take it further

Cut many feather shapes from blue paper and overlap them like a fan to build one wing for Lunacrest.

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.
