Golden Retriever Playing with a Ball Coloring Page

This free printable shows a happy golden retriever puppy sitting on the ground, looking down at a ball just in front of its paws. The floppy ears, curled tail, and soft fur lines make it a fun medium-difficulty coloring page for kids ages 6 to 9.

Coloring ideas

• Try warm shades of gold, tan, and cream for the coat, with a lighter belly.
• Use a bright red, blue, or yellow for the ball so it stands out.
• Add a few short strokes along the back and tail to suggest fluffy fur.
• Color the eyes a soft brown and the nose a dark gray or black.
• Fill the background with a light green for grass or a pale blue for a sunny day.

Quick fact and activity

Golden retrievers are known for being friendly, smart, and eager to please, which is why they often appear in family photos and service-dog stories. After coloring, ask your child to draw a simple scene where the puppy and the ball are playing in a park, then share the story behind the picture with a parent or classmate.
