Coloring order

Color Gryphara's spread wings cream near the body and orange at the tips, changing the shade a little from one feather row to the next.
Use soft yellow for the eagle-like head and fluffy chest feathers, and a golden tan for the lion-like back half of the body.
Last, color the sharp front talons, the hind paws and the tufted tail at the lower left in brown and orange.

Questions to talk about

Which does Gryphara look more like, the bird or the lion? Why do you think so?
What might you see looking down from high above at dawn?
If you grew wings, where would you fly first?

Take it further

Make wide wings from newspaper strips, hold them against your arms and flap slowly like Gryphara, showing high places and low places with your body.

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.
