🎨 Supplies Needed
- brown paper bag
- brown, yellow
- white and blue felt
- marker pen
- a pair of scissors
- glue
- one sheet of sparkly red glitter paper.
🖌️ How to Make This Paper Dog Craft
- Step 1: Draw the shapes you will need with your marker pen. Cut out the dog ears from the brown felt. Cut out two white ovals for eyes and smaller blue ovals for the pupils. Cut out a yellow triangle nose and a red tongue.
- Step 2: Next glue all the pieces in place. The activity will not take too long but you will need to allow time for the glue to dry. You could also try making other animals from paper bags such as a pig, a cat or a mouse.
Enjoy!
💡 Pro Tip: Transform your paper dog into a puppet and use it for engaging storytelling sessions or pretend play. This will enhance creativity and make the craft even more
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Start with a Brown Bag: Use a brown paper bag as the base for the dog’s face. It provides a solid structure and adds a cute, realistic touch to your craft.
- Cut Out the Shapes: Cut out felt pieces for the dog’s ears, eyes, nose, and a red glitter paper tongue. This will help create a colorful and textured face.
- Add Details with Markers: Use a black marker to draw extra details, like the dog’s mouth, whiskers, and any other fun features to personalize your design.
- Glue the Pieces Together: Assemble the face by gluing the cut-out felt pieces onto the front of the paper bag. Let the glue dry completely to avoid any pieces from falling off.
- Personalize Your Dog: Don’t forget to add fun accessories, like a collar, spots, or a bow tie, to give your paper dog character and uniqueness.
- Create a Puppet: Turn your paper dog into a fun puppet by adding movable parts like a mouth or hands for interactive storytelling and play.
