About this worksheet
This iguana is perched on top of a large, rounded rock, sitting up on its back legs with one front paw lifted in a wave and its toes spread wide. Its other paw rests flat on the rock's edge. A row of eight rounded spines runs from the back of its head down its spine, and its long tail loops off the body, wraps around the front of the boulder and curls up in a small hook at the tip. The face is simple and friendly: one big round eye with a tiny highlight dot, a small nostril, a round cheek patch, and a curved smiling mouth.
Nearly everything on this page is a large, open shape, so it suits a child who is still getting used to holding a crayon steady. The body, the tail and the rock itself are all wide unbroken spaces that fill in with a few big strokes, while the spines and the spread fingers and toes give slightly smaller shapes for a child who wants a bit more of a challenge on the same page. It is an easy one to talk through while colouring too: how many spines run down its back, why it might be waving, whether the rock is warm from the sun.
There is nothing fiddly here, no tiny background details to navigate, which makes it a fast, low-frustration page rather than a test of patience. It works well as a first iguana page for a younger colourer, and as a quick, satisfying one for an older preschooler who wants to finish something in a single sitting.
How to use this sheet
Start with the rock, since it is the biggest space and gives an easy win. Then do the spines one at a time in the same colour so they read as a row. If a child overshoots the tail's curl, treat it as part of the rock rather than stopping to fix it.
