Chewing a Big Bone: Puppy Lying in the Grass
Coloring guide
This floppy-eared puppy is lying on its tummy in the grass, holding a big cartoon bone between its front paws and biting one end. The eyes are wide and shiny, the tongue peeks out in a happy smile, and the fluffy tail curls up behind. Grass tufts surround the pup, and there are a couple of simple bushes and a faint horizon line in the back. Thick, clean outlines and large shapes like the ears, paws and bone are easy for little hands to color in. Golden yellow or warm brown fits the fur, and a creamy white bone looks great on fresh green grass. Print it for classroom time or a rainy day, free of charge. Kids who like Puppies coloring pages usually enjoy Duck and Reptiles too.
