Playful Dog Digging in the Dirt
Coloring guide
This happy puppy has floppy ears and is digging like crazy, both front paws scooping soil into the air in clumps. You'll see big round eyes, a wide open smile with the tongue out, and a fluffy tail held up high. A collar with a round tag hangs at its neck. Simple bushes and grass tufts line the edges of the field behind it, and a few more grass blades poke up in front. All those bumpy dirt piles and flying crumbs mean lots of small spots to fill in. It's a free printable that works nicely with crayons or markers, especially for young dog lovers. A golden yellow puppy with a bright red collar and rich brown soil makes the scene pop. Fans of Dogs coloring pages often like Dinosaurs and Frog as well.
