This is the first weekend it’s felt like Fall at our house. That means rainy days and kiddos chorusing “I’m bored” can’t be far away.
Entertaining kids during a long, wet winter must be kind of like trying to nail jell-o to a tree.
When I was little, I loved making crafts more than anything. These 11 fun dog crafts for kids are a perfect way to keep your children busy during a long, wet fall and winter.

DIY Painted Dog Puzzle

Hug a Book Pug Bookmark DIY
With back to school upon us, chances are your kiddos are going to be doing more reading than ever. I was such a book worm as a kid (and I mean… also now, lol). These pug bookmarks are perfection and they’ll be a great way for kids to mark their place in their new favourite stories.

Paper Plate Clifford Craft for Kids (Big Red Dog)
The story of Emily-Elizabeth and her big, red dog Clifford is one of my favourite kid’s series. Despite being a child and having a dog bigger than the house, Emily-Elizabeth and their parents are pretty awesome dog owners and Clifford’s misadventures are always entertaining.
