What you need

One large square sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Fold the square in half diagonally to make a triangle. Place it with the long folded edge at the top and the point facing down.
  2. Fold the left and right top corners down toward the middle to make two floppy ears. Press the folds together.
  3. Draw eyes and a nose on the middle of the triangle. Give your puppy a name and tell a story about it.

For ages 4 and up with an adult. Adult helps with folds, stays beside the child, and collects torn paper afterward.
