About this coloring page
A cheerful dog face fills the page, with oversized floppy ears that reach down past its cheeks. A round muzzle holds a big nose and an open mouth with a little tongue showing. It has round eyes with dark centers, curved eyebrows, and a hint of shoulders at the bottom.
The ears are huge, so they are easy to color and make a nice place for a different shade or a pattern. The muzzle circle sits inside the face, which gives kids an early chance to color one shape inside another without going over the line.
Color ideas
- Color the muzzle circle white or cream and the rest of the face brown, the way many dogs look.
- Make the big ears black or speckled, like a spaniel or a hound.
- Give the tongue a bright pink so it stands out against a lighter muzzle.
Did you know?
- Dogs cool down mostly by panting. They only sweat a little, mainly through the pads of their paws.
- The bumps and lines on a dog's nose make a pattern that is different on every dog, a bit like a person's fingerprint.
