Activities to Do With Puppy Coloring Pages
The fun doesn’t have to stop once the crayons are put away. These printable pages can be the starting point for plenty of imaginative play and crafts. Here are some easy ideas to keep your little ones entertained.
Create a Puppy Adoption Center
Transform your living room into an animal shelter. After coloring their favorite dogs, your child can cut them out and create a profile for each one. Have them name the puppy, write down its favorite foods, and describe its personality. You can even make “adoption certificates” to sign when a family member adopts one.
Make DIY Puppy Stick Puppets
Glue the finished coloring pages onto sturdy cardstock, cut out the puppy shapes, and tape a popsicle stick to the back. Now you have a cast of characters for a puppet show. Kids can hide behind the sofa and put on a play about their dogs’ adventures.
Design a Doggy Collage
Print out several sheets, including the smaller or simpler designs. Have your child color them in, cut them out, and paste them onto a large poster board. They can draw a background scene, like a park or a dog house, and add stickers or glitter to make a masterpiece for their bedroom wall.
Write a Creative Puppy Story
Use the coloring page as a writing prompt. Ask your child to write a short story about the dog they colored. Where does the puppy live? Who is its best friend? What kind of trouble did it get into today? This is a great way to combine art with literacy skills.
Make Personalized Greeting Cards
Print the coloring pages at a smaller scale (two or four to a page). Once colored, fold a piece of construction paper in half and glue the puppy image to the front. These make adorable, handmade birthday cards or “get well soon” notes for friends and family.
Assemble a Homemade Puzzle
For a quick brain game, color a page completely and then glue it to a piece of thin cardboard (like a cereal box). Draw puzzle piece shapes on the back and cut them out. Mix up the pieces and challenge your child to put their puppy back together.
FAQs
How Do I Print These Coloring Pages?
Simply click on the link or image of the puppy you want to color. A PDF file will open in a new tab. From there, you can click the printer icon or download the file to your computer to print later.
What Paper Is Best for Coloring Pages?
Standard printer paper works well for crayons and colored pencils. However, if you plan to use markers or watercolors, we recommend using cardstock or heavyweight paper to prevent the ink from bleeding through.
Are These Pages Suitable for Toddlers?
Yes, we have a mix of designs. Look for the “Easy Coloring” or “Simple Outline” headings in the list above. These pages feature thick lines and large spaces, making them perfect for younger children developing their fine motor skills.
Can I Use These Coloring Pages for a Classroom?
Absolutely. These free printables are great for teachers, daycare providers, and homeschool parents. You can print as many copies as you need for educational purposes or class parties.
Do Coloring Pages Help With Child Development?
Yes, coloring helps improve hand-eye coordination, focus, and motor skills. It also provides a creative outlet for self-expression and can be a calming activity to reduce stress and anxiety in children.
How Can I Make the Coloring Pages Reusable?
To make a reusable activity, print the pages on cardstock and laminate them. Your child can then color the puppies using dry-erase markers or washable crayons, and you can wipe them clean to be used again and again.
