So, parents, and teachers, let's get our kids excited and ready for a great time as they create an adorable dog from the letter 'D'. It's going to be a day filled with smiles, learning, and the magic of crafting.

Let's Wag Our Tails for Dogs!

Let's bring out the tail-wagging buddies! Most kids love dogs! In fact, most babies will let them lick their faces! Yuck!

Since kids are familiar with dogs already, it's a great theme to introduce the letter 'D' to our young learners! Who can resist the charm of a playful puppy, right? Just don't let them lick your face kids! Let's use this fun craft to introduce kids to the shape and sound of the letter 'D'.

Dogs are full of energy and affection(see the above-mentioned licking!), and today's craft is designed to put those feelings right into the learning process. As the little ones create their letter 'D' dog, they'll have fun learning, which is always a better way to learn!

Let's let our creativity run free and make learning the ABCs an engaging and fun activity. So, grab your craft supplies and get ready for a pawsome time!

How To Make D is For Dog

Here are the step-by-step instructions for the D.

Start with printing out the letter D from the template and cutting it out. If your template piece of paper is sturdy enough, then use that for the base. Otherwise, you can trace the D onto another white sheet of paper or even a paper plate. Don't miss our paper plate crafts for more fun crafts.

Next, trace the other simple shapes of the template onto the black paper.

cut out dog ear and spots from black paper

The balloon shape will be the dog's ear and the other cloud shapes will be the the dog's spots.

Glue the dog's ear off the back of the letter D and the spots around the D shape.

Next, cut out a small black circle for the nose and a small black circle for behind the eye. Grab your black marker and add a smile and some small spots near the smile to represent the whiskers.

The last step is to glue the googly eye on top of the eye circle and viola a D-Dog!
