Did you know? Dragons are often associated with mythology and folklore, but one interesting fact is that the word dragon actually comes from the Greek word drakon, which means water-snake. This etymology suggests that dragons may have originated as symbolic representations of powerful forces in nature rather than purely fictional creatures.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
