Coloring order

Color the fluffy cloud puffs of Somnimbus's round, C-curled body one puff at a time in pale sky blue.
Layer a little pale pink and lavender along the edge of each puff to make the soft, cloudy texture come alive.
Last, color the swirly curl on top of the head, the long drooping ears and the rounded tail at the lower right in light shades.

Questions to talk about

What dream might Somnimbus be having with its eyes half closed?
What would it feel like to lie down on a cloud?
Was there a day when a cloud in the sky looked like something? What was it?

Take it further

Glue cotton balls onto blue paper to make a sleepy cloud dragon curled like Somnimbus, then invent a name and a sleepy mumble for it.

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.
