Lying Puppy with Paws on a Big Bone and Empty Bowl
Coloring guide
Lying on its tummy, this smiling puppy has both front paws propped on a large cartoon bone. It has floppy ears, big shiny eyes and a little tuft of fur on its head, and its tongue peeks out of an open-mouthed grin while the curled tail sticks up behind. An empty pet bowl sits in the bottom right corner, a fun spot for kids to add their own touches. Bold, clean lines with lots of open space make this free printable easy for preschoolers and early elementary kids with crayons or chunky markers. Golden yellow or warm brown fits the puppy, with light tan ears, and a red or blue bowl will stand out beside the cream-colored bone. Looking for more?
