Floppy-Eared Dog Sipping Through a Straw from a Halloween Pumpkin

A floppy-eared cartoon dog lies beside a round jack-o-lantern, leaning its long snout over the open top. A tall straw sticks out of the pumpkin and runs down along the dog's muzzle, so it looks like the dog is taking a drink. The dog has big round eyes, a spotted, dotted snout with a few whiskers, and one large ear hanging down its side. A ragged, torn-looking collar or cloth trim sits around its neck, and a tail curves up along the right edge of the page. The pumpkin has two round eyes, a small triangle nose, and a wide grinning mouth with square teeth. Try using soft browns and tans for the dog and keep the pumpkin bright orange so the two stand out from each other. The large open areas on the ear and body are easy to fill, which makes this a good pick for younger kids. Print it free for a fall classroom table or a quiet afternoon at home.
