Download Diagram (PDF) for details.
• Make a square by folding over the corner of a piece of paper.
• To finish making the square, cut off the small rectangle, forming a square (which is already folded into a triangle).
• Fold over two triangles (to make the dog's ears).
• You can color or add a construction paper layer.
• Put a face on your dog. Gluing on wiggle eyes gives the dog a whimsical look.
• Print the place and time of your event on the inside.
• When it's folded back up, it's a real tail-wagger!
• Be sure to provide all the information parents need: Fair dates, times, and location, credit cards accepted and also our great web site for parents www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/parents
