About this worksheet
This page shows a happy dog sitting up behind the wheel of a small, rounded toy car, tongue out and both paws gripping the steering wheel. The dog has two big floppy ears, wide round eyes, and a collar with a little tag hanging from it. The car itself is drawn like a bubble-shaped ride-on toy, with a curved bonnet, two large wheels with oval hubcaps, a smaller wheel tucked at the front, and a couple of oval windows and headlight shapes along the side.
Almost everything here is a large, closed shape, which is exactly what makes it satisfying for a small child to fill in. The dog's body, the car's bonnet and doors, and both big wheels give plenty of room to colour without needing to stay inside a tricky line. The face is the one part with a bit more going on, the eyes, nose and open mouth, so it is a natural place to slow down and pick out different colours, or to talk about what colour dog this is and what colour car he'd like to drive. The tag on the collar and the small oval windows are nice little extras for a child who wants to add detail once the big areas are done.
Because the shapes are so large and there is little clutter inside them, this sheet sits on the easier end of the scale. It suits toddlers who are still working on staying inside the lines as much as preschoolers who want to finish a picture quickly and move on to the next one.
How to use this sheet
Start with the big areas, the car body and the dog's fur, before moving to smaller bits like the eyes and collar tag. If a wobble goes outside the line, just colour over it or call it part of the car's shadow.
