Materials

  • Brown paper bag
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Dog template

Instructions

  • Download the dog template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Create the dogs' head by gluing the face stripe to the top of the head.
  • Position the eyes on either side of the strip and glue them right next to the curve of the line.
  • Next, glue the chin so it's slightly overhanging the bottom of the dog's head.
  • Place the mouth over the bottom of the face stripe and the top of the chin. Glue it in place.
  • Take the nose and glue it to the top of the mouth piece.
  • Make the ears by gluing the inner ears to the outer ears. Take the completed ears and glue them, one on each side, to the back of the head.
  • Now take the completed head and glue it to the flap portion of the brown paper bag.
  • Create the dog's body by gluing the body stripe to the main body piece.
  • Finish up by gluing the stripe to the middle of the body piece. Next, glue the entire body piece to the main portion of the brown paper bag.
