Letter D Is for Dog Coloring Page

A hollow capital D and a hollow lowercase d run across the top of this page, with a smiling puppy sitting below, ears hanging down at the sides of its head. D is worth slowing down on because its two cases are mirror images in a way that catches children out. The capital keeps its straight spine on the left and bulges its bowl out to the right. The lowercase does the opposite, with the bowl on the left and the tall stem on the right. Colouring both forms on the same sheet, one after the other, is a practical way to fix that difference in place. Print this page alongside the letter B sheet from this set if a child regularly swaps the two. The puppy is drawn with clean simple lines and no fur texture, so the body stays open and easy to fill in with whatever colour a child decides a dog should be. It suits preschool letter work, a pets topic, or a quiet ten minutes at the kitchen table.
