Coloring order

Color the sky light blue and the hills green, the leaves of the big tree on the left red, orange and yellow, the two cottages with cream walls and orange roofs, and the fence and winding lane brown.
Color Maplekin's body cream, alternate red, orange and yellow section by section on the leaf wings and the maple-leaf tail, and color the twig horns brown.
Color the acorn shoulder pieces brown, the three pumpkins at the bottom orange and the apples in the basket red, then finish with the falling maple leaves.

Questions to talk about

Where do you think Maplekin is trotting along the village lane?
How many falling leaves can you find? Which one do you like best?
What changes around you when autumn comes?

Take it further

Collect a few fallen leaves of different colors, glue them onto paper, and draw Maplekin's leaf wings beside them to make your own autumn picture.

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 reference showing each dragon's original palette. Follow it or pick your own colors. It sits on the left page of a spread.

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.
