Droopy-Eyed Puppy Lounging on a Fringed Rug

A chubby puppy lies flat on a rug with its chin resting on its front paws, looking up with big, droopy eyes that give it a sweet, slightly sad expression. One floppy ear hangs down beside its cheek, and a small tail curls up behind its round body. The rug has wavy stripes running across it and a row of tassels along the curved front edge, so there is plenty of pattern to work with. Try coloring the puppy in a golden yellow or chocolate brown and then give the rug a different color scheme, such as alternating stripes in two or three shades. The tassels are small, which makes them good practice for kids working on careful pencil control. This free page works well for quiet time at home or a pet-themed lesson in class.
