Inspired by the recent movie release of The Secret Life of Pets – today I’m sharing this adorable Popsicle Stick Dog kid craft idea with you all!

By following our simple tutorial below, you can customize very own your pretend dog to reflect your favorite breed or even your own pet you already have in your home!

Then when you are done crafting, you can use your finished wood dog piece as a sweet keepsake, party decor or even turn it into a quick puppet for some awesome pretend play fun in the living room. Whatever you do – we hope you have fun making it!

Happy crafting and don’t forget to see the new movie in honor of your awesome pet creation! We also want to see pictures when you recreate your own craft stick dog idea, so come share images with us on our Facebook page to see! #gluedtomycrafts
