Paper Bag Dog Craft for Kids

Making simple crafts can be really fun and when you can use recycled materials to ave fun it’s even better. Today I’ll be sharing this easy dog puppet idea. If you don’t have the supplies, simply switch things. It’s all about the process and having fun rather than making something that is perfect!

What You Will Need for Your Paper Dog Puppet

brown paper bag
brown, yellow, white, and blue felt
a marker pen
a pair of scissors
glue
one sheet of sparkly red glitter paper

How to Make This Paper Dog Craft

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.

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.

Let me know what you think? I hope you like our Paper dog craft.
