About this coloring page
This page shows a friendly dog face with raised eyebrows, round eyes, a big dark nose, and a small smile. Rounded floppy ears hang down on each side. Underneath, a long bone stretches across the page with knobby ends.
There are only a few shapes here: the face, two ears, and the bone. That makes it a relaxed page for a short coloring session. The eyebrows give the dog a curious look, and kids may enjoy deciding what the dog is thinking about its bone.
Color ideas
- Color the bone creamy white or pale yellow, and shade the knobby ends a little darker.
- Give the dog a golden face with reddish-brown ears, like a golden retriever.
- Turn the bone into a dog treat by coloring it brown with a few darker dots like a biscuit.
Did you know?
- A dog's sense of smell is far stronger than a person's. Dogs can pick out scents we cannot notice at all.
- Cooked bones can splinter and hurt a dog, so vets often suggest sturdy chew toys instead.
- Most adult dogs have 42 teeth, which is ten more than an adult person.
Try this
Hide a paper bone somewhere in the room and let your child sniff it out like a dog, using "warmer" and "colder" clues.
