- Print template for tracing.1 Template
- Cut out tracers and trace on craft foam.
- Cut out shapes from craft foam (I started with the face)1 piece 9x12 white craft foam, 1-2 pieces 9x12 brown craft foam, 1 piece 9x12 black craft foam
- Use hot glue to put together the dog's face and use a permanent marker to make his mouth.
- Glue legs to the side of the box and use permanent marker for details, then add more "spots" to the dogs body.
- You can even add a little tail if you'd like
- That's all there is to it. Now your child has an adorable dog valentine box to bring to school!
Notes
- The amount of white construction paper you need to cover your dog will depend on how big a box you use. I used two pieces to cover the Capri Sun box and had some to spare.
- Also, the time it takes to make this will vary based on the age & skill of the child (and also how much of a perfectionist your child is!)
