Puppy Coloring Pages

The suspicious silence lasts just long enough for someone to look up from a cup of tea. Then a puppy appears beneath the table, looking extremely pleased with a discovery that has yet to be identified. The household learns to pay attention to those small pauses.

Puppy coloring pages suit that affectionate curiosity about what a young dog will do next. An ordinary room has so much to investigate, from a curtain brushing the floor to the space behind a chair. Even the people who know the room best may find themselves looking around it differently after a puppy has conducted its own thorough inspection.

Send the Puppy on a Little Mail Round

The puppy's shoulder bag is full of heart-marked envelopes, and another is already in its paw. Set up a short mail round at home with three small envelopes and a few folded notes.

Write a familiar person's name on each envelope, then decide which room will be their delivery address. The notes could hold a drawing, a joke, or an invitation to join a game.

A red mailbag with pink hearts would look cheerful beside a golden puppy. Put the finished picture at the starting point, then let the person delivering the mail collect the envelopes there. Each recipient can leave a reply in the same place for the next round.

Add a Loop to the Skating Trail

This puppy has four little skates and a long scarf trailing behind it. The curved lines across the frozen lake leave room to add a sweeping loop of your own near the foreground.

Try pale blue ice, a cream-colored puppy, and red earmuffs with a matching striped scarf. Keep the snow mounds and the tops of the distant trees mostly white.

Sketch the extra trail lightly, letting it curve back toward one of the printed ice lines. A loose figure eight would suit the open space in front of the puppy. The line can pass beneath the nearest skate without running through the boot, making it look like a mark left on the ice behind the skater.

Give a Homemade Story Its Last Page

Two puppies sitting close together under the stars would make a gentle last page for a homemade story. The larger puppy rests its forepaws around the smaller one's shoulders, with both dogs seated among grass and small flowers.

Leave a little room below the finished picture for "The End," written on the larger sheet it is mounted on. Earlier pages could tell a short story dictated by a child, with their own drawings alongside the words.

Pale golden coats against a blue evening sky would keep the two puppies easy to see. The final sentence could bring the story's characters home for the night, before turning to this closing picture and its crescent moon.

Wrap a Small Present with Puppy Patterns

A golden puppy against blue stars and pink flowers would make a cheerful center for this patterned page. The bones and dots spread right around it, giving the surrounding paper plenty of decoration too.

Use the finished sheet for a small, flat present, checking the folds before fixing anything with tape. Position the puppy over the top so its face stays on the broadest part of the package.

If the gift is too large for the sheet, use plain wrapping paper underneath and place the colored page on top as a panel. A narrow ribbon can go around the parcel's edges, leaving the puppy and its patterned border visible when the present is handed over.

Give the Mirror a Second Crown

The puppy has dressed up in a crown and long necklaces, but the tall mirror beside it is still blank. Add a small reflected crown near the top of the oval to begin filling that glass.

Then try a pair of ears and a smiling face below it, using the puppy as a guide. A quick sketch on scrap paper will help decide how much of the portrait fits inside the curved frame.

A purple crown and purple mirror frame would go well with golden fur and pink beads. The reflection can borrow those same colors, with its smaller necklace sitting beneath the face. It becomes another little portrait inside the larger dress-up scene.

Let the Paper Puppy Swing

The puppy has its paws around the ropes and its hind paw pads turned toward the viewer. This pose would suit a small moving paper swing made from a second copy of the page.

With adult help, cut out the puppy together with its wooden seat. Tape a thread behind each raised forepaw, then attach the threads to the top of a separate piece of card so the whole piece can hang.

Try a brown seat and cream puppy against a pale blue card background. Gently tilt the card to give the paper swing a little movement. Check that the two threads are similar lengths before fixing their top ends firmly, keeping the seat fairly level.

Fill the Bicycle Basket with Favorite Blooms

The puppy's bicycle already has a front basket full of flowers. Choose colors from a bunch at home, or from a photograph of flowers someone would enjoy receiving.

Pick one large bloom in the printed basket for the main color, then use a second shade on a few of the smaller ones. A turquoise bicycle and yellow flowers would make a bright starting point.

A tiny tag could hang from the basket rim, with a short name written on it if there is room. Sketch the tag beside the flowers rather than across their petals. The puppy can then look ready to deliver a particular bunch, with the recipient's favorite colors doing most of the choosing.
