For optimal printing results, use standard 8.5″ x 11″ white paper with your printer set to “Best” or “High Quality” mode. Regular copy paper works perfectly fine, though slightly thicker cardstock can make coloring easier for little hands and prevents bleeding when using markers.

Tips for Coloring Your Puppy Pages

Color Choice: Don’t feel limited to realistic colors! Purple poodles and rainbow retrievers can be just as delightful. Encourage creativity and personal expression.

Background Fun: Remember to leave some space around your puppy! Add grass, flowers, toys, or even a simple pattern to complete the scene.
