More ways to browse
Puppies are born with their eyes closed and spend most of their first weeks sleeping and eating. Children love hearing that puppies sleep a lot, just like babies. Real puppies can be any dog color, from cream to chocolate brown to black and white. A puppy page is a sweet gift for a family welcoming a new dog.
Give the puppy a collar and name tag and let children choose the name. Older kids can add a small water bowl, a ball and a bed to make the page their own.

Questions parents and teachers ask
When do puppies open their eyes?
Puppies are born with their eyes closed and usually open them when they are about two weeks old.
Are puppy pages easier than dog pages for toddlers?
Usually, yes. Puppies are drawn with bigger heads and rounder bodies, so the spaces are larger and easier to color.
Can a puppy page help a child get ready for a new pet?
Yes. Coloring a puppy is a good time to talk about how to be gentle, what a puppy needs and who will feed it.
