Puppy Stacking Cushions Coloring Page

About this page

Standing on its hind legs, a bright-eyed puppy rests both front paws on a stack of three plump cushions. The top cushion is covered in large round dots, the middle one has vertical stripes, and the bottom one is decorated with a repeating pattern of hearts. Each cushion has small pinched corners sticking out at both ends. The puppy leans forward with its mouth open in a happy smile, one ear flopping down and a fluffy tail curving up behind it at the left. The whole group sits on a blank page with no floor line, so you decide what the room looks like. The three clearly different patterns are the highlight, giving young colorists a chance to practice filling dots, stripes and hearts. A medium-detail page for kids, it fits those ready for shapes smaller than a thumbnail.
