Kawaii French bulldog puppy with big ears, heart tag, grass tufts, pebbles, and a striped ball.

Big-Eared Puppy With Heart Tag and Ball

A smiling big-eared puppy stands proudly in the grass, wearing a heart tag beside a striped ball and tiny pebbles.

🎨 How to color it

Color the puppy sandy tan, the huge inner ears soft peach, the heart tag cherry red, and the striped ball bright blue and yellow. Use chunky crayons or broad marker strokes for the puppy’s round head and body, then slow down for the little eyelashes, nose spots, and grass blades. Try making the heart tag extra shiny with a tiny white spot left uncolored.

The story behind this coloring page

Willa’s Wobbly Ball Machine — Every day after breakfast, Willa dragged sticks to the weed patch and tried to build a ball-rolling machine with her own paws. Clack, clack, flop! Read the full story →

Every day after breakfast, Willa dragged sticks to the weed patch and tried to build a ball-rolling machine with her own paws. Clack, clack, flop! The ball always bumped into a pebble and bonked her toes. One windy morning, the ball stopped rolling at all. It sat in the grass with a funny squeak, like a mouse wearing a hat.

Because of that, Willa poked the stripes. Because of THAT, a little wooden peg popped from a loose seam and landed on her nose. “Aha, you sneaky noodle!” she barked. The peg fit perfectly under her crooked ramp. Willa pushed the ball, and it rolled whirr-whirr-whoosh right to her feet. Her ears stood tall, her heart tag bounced, and the weed patch smelled like warm dirt and victory. If you spot her ball, can you guess where the sneaky peg was hiding before the clack, clack, flop?
