Coloring order

Start with Chimerune's lion head and full mane in orange and yellow, and the body in a pale ochre.
Color the goat head rising from the back and its two curved horns in gray and dark brown to set them apart.
Last, color the scales of the snake tail curling up on the left in two greens, and the claws and hooves in dark shades.

Questions to talk about

Chimerune is made of several different animals. Which ones can you spot?
What could three animals do together if they worked as a team?
If you combined two animals you love, what would it look like?

Take it further

Imagine a new friend by mixing two animals you like, draw it, then give it a name and one special trait to introduce to your family.

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 black-and-white line art you print and color, with scales, feathers and fur divided into areas so you can try many colors.

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.
