Who doesn’t love coloring? Even as a middle-age woman I find it so incredibly relaxing to snuggle up in my favorite pj’s with a glass of milk and some cookies – and of course my daughter and dog and color away. Then there is the smell of crayons that takes me back about 40 years to a happy time when life was easier – we all need a bit of that right? But whether you use crayons, markers or colored pencils – each of these coloring books that feature a variety of dog designs are sure to bring a smile to your face.
But I know when I was a kid there was no such thing as a dog coloring book — we had flowers, we had cartoons (which may have had dogs in it), we had everything else but there was never anything that was all dogs all the time! If there was I would imagine I would have been one horribly annoying kid until I got one.
But now there are just so many options out there that both older kids and adults will absolutely love! If you are a dog lover – and someone who loves to color, then below is your dream list of coloring books. Some are more challenging then others – but the skill of each of the artists who designed these books is off the charts!
