Crafty paws: 5 dog-themed craft ideas

Crafting is a wonderful way to expand on the fun of dog coloring pages. These dog-themed craft ideas are perfect for nurturing creativity and motor skills in kids. Let’s get those little hands busy!

DIY dog puppet

Materials needed: Paper bags or old socks, markers, glue, scissors, and various craft supplies (like yarn for fur, buttons for eyes).

Instructions: Start by selecting a paper bag or an old sock as your puppet base. If you’re using a paper bag, the bottom of the bag will be the puppet’s face. Draw or glue on eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You can cut out ears from construction paper and glue them on. For a sock puppet, place the sock over your hand, and mark where the features should go. Glue on button eyes, use yarn for the mouth and ears, and add any additional features like spots or a tongue. Allow your puppet to dry completely before playtime.

Play idea: Use the puppet to act out stories from dog-themed books or create your own adventures.

Use: Hang it on your child’s bedroom door or on the door of a room where their toy dogs ‘live’.

Dog breed guessing game

Canine careers exploration

  • Materials needed: Internet access or books about dogs, paper, markers.
  • Instructions: Research various careers that involve working with dogs, such as veterinarians, dog trainers, groomers, and rescue workers.

  • Learning outcome: This activity provides insight into different careers and teaches the importance of caring for animals.

Dog sounds identification

  • Materials needed: Sound clips of different dog barks and noises (available online), a speaker or computer.
