Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

Caity was bored today at work, so we had to do a craft from office supplies. We made these 2 paper doggies. For the first doggie we used paper, scissors and markers. First you have to have a square piece of paper. Fold paper over to make a triangle and cut off excess paper. Fold over the corners to make the ears. Now decorate. For the second dog we used and envelope, post it notes, markers and glue. Fold the envelope in half. Now decorate.

Here is a fun and easy craft for preschoolers and older children. Another great thing is that it does not take a lot of materials. We used: 4 different colored sheets of construction paper (one of them black), ruler, scissors, glue and a stapler. Draw a 1/4 inch border around each of the pieces of construction paper except the black one. Now have the kids cut shapes (regular and irregular shapes) inside the border of the paper. For younger kids, you may need to start the cut. Now stack the pieces of paper on top of each other and staple at the corners.
