Dog Portrait Coloring Page

What a sweet dog portrait to color. This printable puppy picture is full of friendly shapes and simple lines that make it fun to bring to life. Start by talking about the parts of the dog you see, like the ears, nose, eyes, and collar, and encourage kids to choose realistic or creative colors. In the classroom, use it as a center activity, display finished portraits on a bulletin board, or turn coloring into a matching game by pairing with books about dogs. At home, it is perfect for rainy afternoons or quiet family time, so try adding a storytelling twist where each child names their dog and writes a sentence about its favorite game. For an extension project, have children cut out the portrait, glue it to colored paper, and decorate a scene around the dog. This Dog Portrait coloring page is free, printable, and great for practicing grip, exploring color choices, and sparking imaginative play while making a lovely keepsake.
