Paper Plate Go, Dog. Go! Craft Idea
Happy Monday my crafty friends! I’m so excited that you are here and that I’m FINALLY able to add this Go Dog Go paper plate craft to the book inspired blog archives today! I just hope you like it as much as we do and are inspired to recreate it too!
Not only is this paper plate dog kid craft SUPER easy and fun for children of ALL ages BUT it also goes along perfectly with one my favorite children’s books, Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman.
Reading goes to the dogs in this timeless Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss. From big dogs and little dogs to red, green, and blue dogs, dogs going up and dogs going fast . . . who knew dogs were so busy? And laughter will ensue at the repeated question “Do you like my hat?” Like P. D. Eastman’s classic Are You My Mother? Go, Dog. Go! has been a go-to favorite for over fifty years, leaving audiences of all breeds wagging their tails with delight.
So what are you waiting for? Help your child grab those craft supplies and get to work on this Go Dog Go craft today! Don’t forget to read the book with your child, in honor of your creative adventure! Happy crafting my friends!
