Puppy Pip's First Woof Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip was a tiny puppy with ears so floppy they sometimes dipped into his water bowl. He could wiggle his tail, he could pounce on his toys, and he could give the best licky kisses. But Pip had never barked.

One morning, a big red ball rolled past him. Boing! Pip wanted to say, "Hello, ball!" He opened his mouth, took a big breath, and out came a tiny… "eep!"

The ball rolled on. A little later, a fuzzy caterpillar wiggled by. Pip wanted to say, "You're so fuzzy!" He opened his mouth, took a bigger breath, and out came a little… "yip!"

The caterpillar wiggled away. Pip sat down with a sigh. Just then, his favorite person, a little boy named Tom, came to scoop him up for a cuddle. Pip was so happy! He opened his mouth, took the biggest breath of all, and out came a real, proper, happy "WOOF!" Tom giggled, and Pip wagged his tail so hard his whole body wiggled. He had found his voice!

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

This design is ideal for children aged 3-5. The large, simple outlined shapes of the puppy and the boy have minimal interior detail, making it easy for small hands to color within the lines. The expressive and happy theme of a puppy is highly relatable and engaging for this age group, encouraging emotional connection with the art.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this line art page on medium-weight cardstock to prevent marker bleed-through. Use your printer's 'high quality' or 'photo' setting to ensure the black outline strokes are crisp and clear. A well-printed page makes it easier for your child to see the lines and enjoy coloring their puppy.

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for little hands to grip and provide great coverage in the large, open areas. Washable markers are also a wonderful choice for creating bright, bold colors. Always supervise young children with art supplies, and have fun bringing this happy puppy scene to life!
