Our travelling exhibit for Summer 2008 is "Adventures with Clifford the Big Red Dog!" There's lots to learn from Clifford. Make these dog ears at home and have fun practicing Clifford's "10 Big ideas".

Dog Ears Headband

Materials Needed:

• Construction Paper
• Crayons or Markers
• Stapler or Tape
• Kid-safe Scissors
  

Instructions:

Using the construction paper, make a headband by cutting out a strip of paper about 2 inches thick and long enough to wrap around your fore head (make sure you make it an inch or two longer so you can staple the ends together).

Now, fold another piece of paper in half and cut out a set of dog ears. They can be long, teardrop-shaped ears, or short, perky ears - whatever you want! Now, you can use crayons or markers and add spots or other designs to your dog ears.

Place the edge of each ear on either side of the headband and staple or tape them in place. Once the ears are attached, staple or tape the ends of the headband together for a snug fit.
