About this coloring page
A puppy lies stretched out on the ground, fast asleep. Its eyes are closed in two gentle curves, one floppy ear hangs down beside its face, and its tail wraps along its side. Two Zs rise into the air above it, and a curved line along its back shows where its fur changes color.
This is a quiet, simple page that works well at the end of the day. The body is one long, rounded shape, so even toddlers can fill it with big strokes. The line on the puppy's back is a nice spot to add a darker patch.
Color ideas
- Color the patch on the puppy's back darker than the rest of the body, like a saddle marking.
- Make the two Zs a soft night-time blue, and add a few small stars around them.
- Draw a blanket or a mat under the puppy along the ground line and color it with stripes.
Did you know?
- Young puppies spend most of the day asleep. Sleep helps their bodies and brains grow.
- Dogs go through sleep stages similar to ours. A sleeping dog that twitches its paws may be dreaming.

Use this page as part of a bedtime routine. Color it together, then ask your child what the puppy might be dreaming about and draw it in a thought bubble.
