This is a wonderfully easy and festive Christmas craft idea for kids! All you need is some cardstock paper and a little bit of creativity. Let your child’s imagination run wild as they bring this adorable Peeking Christmas Puppy to life. Merry crafting!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – download and print the puppy dog template listed above in the supply list.
  • Print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. You need ONE puppy printable per paper craft.
  • Next grab your choice in color of crayons {or markers, pencils etc.} and color the dog face and paws in the printable. I went with a shade of brown for mine but you can do whatever color you like!
  • Once done with the coloring, trim out each section in the printable and set them aside. You will have ONE head and TWO paws.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • Now grab your choice in color of cardstock paper and/or scrapbook paper.
  • We are going to start off my cutting out a basic 6″ x 6″ inch square shape for the bottom portion of the gift box.
  • Go ahead and also cut out a smaller 6″ x 2″ inch piece for the gift box lid and what will ultimately go on the puppy’s head.
  • Now that you have your box pieces cutout, it’s time to decorate each one, to make them look like a true gift box. I added a rectangle “ribbon” to the center of the my two pieces but you can of course change that up. Don’t forget to make a pretty bow for on top of everything!
  • Once you have ALL your paper pieces done, it’s time to start assembling!
  • Grab all your paper pieces {including the puppy dog cutouts} along with your stapler and/or glue.
  • Staple the colored in puppy dog face piece, to the back of the larger square paper piece, so it looks like she/he is peeking out from behind it.
  • Follow that up by either stapling or gluing the puppy paws in place, on the front of the “gift box.”
  • Finally – add the longer rectangle piece {the gift box top} on top of the puppy’s head.
  • To finish off your paper Christmas puppy peeking craft, add any other embellishments you see fit before displaying it proudly for all to see!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
