Puppy in a Striped Sleeve T-Shirt, Chinese New Year 2018

A friendly puppy sits with its head tilted, tongue sticking out and a big smile on its face. It wears a simple short-sleeved T-shirt with a double stripe around each sleeve, and its floppy ears hang down on both sides. One back leg is tucked beside its body, the front paws are planted wide with little toes drawn on each one, and a long curved tail rises up behind it. Below the puppy, outlined bubble letters read Happy Chinese New Year 2018, which kids can fill in with their own colors. 2018 was the Year of the Dog, so this is a nice page to pair with a short talk about the Chinese zodiac. Try coloring the T-shirt in red and gold, the traditional New Year colors, and use warm browns or tans for the fur. This printable page works well for classroom celebrations or a quiet afternoon at home.
