About this coloring page
A poodle sits facing forward with a bow on top of its head. Round, puffy ears overlap the sides of its face, two curved lines run across its bell-shaped body, and round pom-poms mark its two front paws and the tip of its tail. The bow has two triangle loops with a round knot in the middle.
All the circles overlap the body, which creates lots of small curved slivers where the lines cross. That makes this page a good challenge for kids who are ready to slow down. A good plan is to color the pom-poms and ears first, then fill in the body around them.
Color ideas
- Color the bow a bright pink, red, or purple, with the round knot in the middle a darker shade.
- Make the poodle white or apricot, and add tiny curls to the pom-poms with a darker pencil.
- Color the body between the curved lines in stripes to look like a fancy sweater.
Did you know?
- Poodles come in three main sizes: standard, miniature, and toy.
- A poodle's coat is tightly curled and keeps growing, so poodles need regular trims and brushing.
- Poodles were first bred to fetch things from the water for people.
