School Library and Reading Routines Puppet Story

This printable coloring page shows a cheerful child seated behind a simple table, holding up a friendly dog hand puppet for a pretend story time. A bold title reading “PUPPET STORY” sits centered at the top, while the main action fills the middle of the page. The child has short hair, bright eyes, a smiling expression, and a striped shirt with wide bands that are easy to color. One arm rests on the tabletop, and the other is raised to display the puppet. The dog puppet has floppy ears, a round nose, a happy open mouth, and raised paws, giving the scene an animated storytelling feel. On the lower right side of the table is a small lunchbox or handled case with a latch and rounded corners. The uncluttered layout keeps attention on the child, puppet, and box, making it approachable for young colorists. Large open shapes, simple facial features, and clear clothing details offer a fun balance of easy filling and expressive character coloring.
