Coloring is one of the most relaxing activities you can do.

All you have to do is sit down, grab a colored pencil, and start scribbling. Who cares if you don’t stay in the lines? I certainly don’t. It’s just a chance for you to focus on the present and lose yourself in some colorful creativity. Coloring is about self-expression and bringing life to the page. Just remember…

I really love sitting with Mom and watching her color. I just plop myself right next to her and watch her scribble her heart out. Each color seems to bring a little more life to the page. I’ve actually tried to color with her, but those darn colored pencils keep rolling off my paw. So, Mom did the next best thing. She turned my face into a fun coloring book page. “How ‘bout that?!!!”

These Sweet Potato Carob Chip Pupcakes are perfect for your pup to enjoy while you’re adding some color to your Pupcake Sugar Coloring Book Page.
