Coloring Tips

To make the puppy look extra soft, you can try using light circular strokes with a tan or light brown crayon to create a fuzzy fur effect. Teachers can encourage kids to use bright colors for the heart-shaped collar to foster creative confidence in the classroom. If you are using colored pencils, try applying more pressure to the nose and paw pads to make the dog’s features pop off the page.
