About this coloring page

A happy little puppy is joyfully playing with a striped ball. The puppy has floppy ears, a cheerful open-mouthed smile, and a wagging tail. Its front paw reaches out toward the ball, which has curved stripes and small movement lines to show it is rolling.\n\nThis coloring page is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. The thick black outlines make it easy to stay within the lines. The large, open sections of the puppy's body and the ball are ideal for little hands using crayons or thick markers.\n\nWhile coloring, you can talk about how pets stay active and healthy. Ask your child what games they like to play with animals, or discuss the different colors they want to use for each stripe on the ball.
