Cartoon puppy in a bubbly bathtub splashing water beside a rubber duck and faucet

Splashy Puppy Bath with Rubber Duck

A grinning shaggy puppy sits in a foamy tub, flinging suds and water drops across the tiled bathroom wall.

🎨 How to color it

Try honey-brown fur for the puppy, lemon yellow for the rubber duck, pale aqua for the bathwater, and soft sky blue on the square tiles. Use sharp colored pencils for the little bubbles, fur strokes, and splashing drops, then switch to a marker for the tub’s wide rim. Add a playful twist by making the flying suds look pearly with tiny pink and lavender shadows.

Every evening, before the water cooled, Nico tapped each bubble with his nose and tried to count to one hundred. The bathroom smelled like mint shampoo, the faucet went tik-tik-tik, and his paws made tiny waves against the tub. He had reached sixty-two three nights in a row—until one day a clump of foam slid down his ear and made a perfect arrow.

Because of that, Nico forgot the count and chased the arrow with a splash that sent bubbles bouncing off the tiles. Because of that, his rubber duck spun backward, bumped the soap dish, and uncovered a tiny blue button shaped like a shell. “Adventure button!” barked Nico, and he pressed it with one wet paw.

A warm gush burst from the faucet, lifting the bubbles into hills and tunnels. Nico paddled to the tallest foam island, found the duck waiting like a captain, and finally discovered what the challenge had been hiding: not one hundred bubbles, but one hundred places to wonder. If you spot the shell-shaped clue among the suds, Nico might let you name the next island before the water cools.
