Puppy in a Gift Box Coloring Page

About this page

A puppy sits inside an open cardboard gift box and rests both front paws on the front edge, showing its toe lines. The box is a six-sided shape with flat panels, and its lid leans against the right side at an angle. The puppy's head rises above the rim, with big eyes, a wide smile, a tongue, two floppy ears and a small tuft on top. There is no ribbon or wrapping paper drawn, so the box is a plain canvas for your own pattern, whether polka dots, stripes or just a solid color. The shapes are big and the lines are thick, which keeps the page easy to finish. A cheerful surprise theme for kids, it is a good pick for birthday decorations and gift-giving days.
