Mother Dog and Her Four Sleepy Puppies in a Wooden Crate
Coloring guide
A happy mother dog with floppy ears and her tongue out lies in a cozy bed with four little puppies snuggled around her. Two nurse at her side with their backs to us, one rests its sleepy head on her back leg on the right, and another curls up asleep with closed eyes at the bottom of the page. Behind them you'll see a wooden crate with metal bolts along the corners and a plump pillow, with wavy blankets covering the ground. The thick, fluffy fur on mama's chest gives kids fun texture to shade. Golden yellow and warm tan suit the dogs, and soft blue or pink blankets will help the puppies stand out.
