Dog Crafts for Kids {Get the Templates}
I love it when a craft just makes you smile. And you cannot help but smile when you see these dog crafts for kids. Each one is cuter than the one before. I haven’t been able to pick a favorite…the bulldog? the poodle? the pooch? or the maltese? They are all perfect little pet crafts. And, if you would prefer, make up your own design so that this puppy craft looks like your own dog at home. The only limit is your imagination.

Paper Bag Dog Craft Instructions
Step 1: Draw the Legs
- Fold over the top third of the paper lunch bag.
- Then use a pencil to draw on the legs of your puppy dog.
- Draw around the legs and fill in the gaps with a black marker.
Step 2: Color the Body
- Now color in the body and legs of your dog. Make it whatever color works for the dog you are making.
Step 3: Use the Dog Craft Template
- Now print the templates for your dog craft.
- Use it to cut out the parts for the dog you are planning to make.
Step 4: Glue it Together
- With the top of the paper bag folded down, use your glue stick to attach the dog’s head.
- The add his nose and tail. When gluing on the tail, attach it to front section in the crease of the paper bag, not the back section.
Step 5: Add Details to Your Dog Craft
- Now it’s time to add whatever details you want.
- Draw on or glue on some googly eyes.
- For the poodle, we added some cotton with a glue stick for the puffy parts.
- Last, for other breads, add wrinkles, spots, or whatever you like.
Step 6: Stuff It
- Open up the paper lunch bag.
- Tear strips of newspaper, crumple them and place them in the opening of the bag.
- Fill the bag with balls of crumpled newspaper up to the fold. Do not over-fill.
Step 7: Close It Up
- Last, fold the top of the paper bag back down in place and secure it with staples on each side as pictured.
Note that every dog has it’s own little things that are different about it. You will notice the most differences with the Maltese dog craft. Instead of coloring it, we glued on pieces of yarn to imitate his long hair. And for the Bulldog craft, we drew on some wrinkles.
