Step 1:

After you have printed the PDF template, choose what colour you want your puppy to be. Let’s use a few shades of brown to make the puppy. Use the templates to cut out the pieces for the puppy. 

Outline the pieces using marker pens.

Step 2:

To make this easy, let’s use the numbers on the template to join the pieces together. 

Piece Number: 1 is the puppy’s head and Piece Number: 2 is the mouth. 

Glue Number 2 on the bottom side of the number 1. 

Allow the glue to dry.

Step 3:

Piece Number :3 and 4 are the ears for the puppy. Glue Number 3 on the left side of the puppy’s head and glue Number 4 on the right side of the puppy’s head. 

Step 4:

Take Number: 5 and 6 and glue them on the top side of the puppy’s head these are the eyes for the puppy. 

Step 5:

Then use the marker pens to draw the puppy’s nose and mouth. 

Step 6:

Now, take the tissue paper roll, and wrap it with brown craft paper. 

Make sure the paper is the same height and circumference as the tissue paper roll.

Step 7:

Take piece number 7 and glue it on the bottom part of the tissue paper roll. 

Step 8:

Then, take piece number 8 and 9, these are the feet of the puppy.

Glue piece number 8 on the left side and piece number 9 on the right. 

Step 9:

Almost finished, now take the puppy’s head and glue it on the top of the tissue paper roll.
