Letter D for Dog

This page sets a large uppercase letter D next to a friendly sitting cartoon puppy with floppy ears and a wagging tail, with a small bone on the ground nearby. Both shapes are bold and simple, making it an easy, cheerful page that links the letter D to the word dog and its beginning sound. Younger children can fill the big D and the puppy with broad strokes, while older kids can add fur texture or shade the floppy ears. Dogs come in every color from golden to brown to black-and-white, so kids can color this puppy to look like a pet they know. Saying the word dog while coloring reinforces the /d/ sound at the start of the word. The little bone is a fun extra to color in a bony off-white or any playful shade. This animal-and-letter combo appeals to almost every young colorer. Print it on US Letter or A4 and say D is for dog.
