🎨 How to color it

Give the puppy golden-brown fur, the muddy paw splashes a chocolate brown, the trowel handle bright red, and the fence a sunny white or pale blue. Use chunky crayons for the puppy’s big body and the wide fence boards, and don’t worry if little hands color outside the mud drops. Try making the hole dark brown in the middle with lighter brown around the edges, like fresh dirt just popped open.

In the dig patch, Rumi pushed his little trowel: scritch, scoop, plop! He wanted to make one brave tunnel with his own paws. The dirt smelled wet and tickly.

He patted the sides. He hopped over it. “Ta-da!” barked Rumi, mud dripping from his toes.

Then a green nose poked up from the tunnel. A baby bean had found Rumi’s path to the sun.

Rumi wiggled all over. His brave tunnel was a sprout parade road! Can you spot the little scoop that helped him scritch, scoop, plop?
