Firefighter Helmet Fun for a Friendly Dalmatian

A spotted Dalmatian sits upright with its head turned slightly to the side and a friendly smile on its face. On its head is a big firefighter helmet with a wide brim and a badge-style emblem on the front. Around its neck is a thick collar with a round tag hanging down. Black spots cover the body, the ears, the back leg and the front legs, and the tail curves up behind the dog. The front paws rest on the ground in a neat sitting pose. The lines are clean and the spots are large, so it works well for younger kids. Try coloring the helmet bright red or yellow and keeping the spots black, then talk about what firefighters do and why dogs like this became fire station mascots. This printable page also gives kids good practice coloring around small shapes.
