Dog Themed Crafts For Kids

May 6, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

If you have a dog-loving child in the house, this collection of dog themed crafts for kids is going to be an instant favourite. Whether they have a real pup at home, are begging for one daily, or simply adore anything with floppy ears and a wagging tail, dog crafts are such a fun way to turn that puppy obsession into a creative afternoon activity.

These easy dog craft ideas are perfect for rainy days, classroom craft sessions, preschool activities, pet-themed birthday parties, or those “please stop saying you’re bored” moments we all know too well. Most of these projects use simple supplies like paper plates, cardboard tubes, construction paper, felt, paint, glue, and googly eyes — because apparently no kids’ craft is truly finished until something has googly eyes.

Dog crafts are also a lovely way to encourage storytelling and imaginative play. Children can make paper puppies, puppy puppets, dog masks, pet rocks, paw print art, or handmade dog-themed cards, then use them for pretend play, learning activities, or gifts for the dog lovers in their life. They are especially sweet for preschoolers and early primary-aged kids who enjoy animal crafts that feel playful and achievable.

This roundup of dog themed crafts for kids is full of cute, beginner-friendly ideas that are easy to set up and fun to make. Whether you are planning a pet unit, looking for easy animal crafts for kids, or just need a cheerful craft project for a child who thinks dogs are the best thing in the world, these puppy-inspired projects are a tail-wagging good place to start.

This collection of 10 adorable puppy crafts are super fun and easy to do at home with your kids. This kid’s craft roundup contains things such as origami, paper bag puppets, pipe cleaner dogs, cards, and even uses everyday items that we would normally just throw out. Dogs are the best, and these crafts are too.
