Kids can make a stuffed animal pet collar in a few easy steps! This is an easy kids craft activity for cute toy dog accessories.
Easy Stuffed Animal Pet Collar Kids Craft
We love kids crafts around here and now there is a new craft show for kids launching today and hosted by my daughter. I don’t know how many shows there will be or if anyone will watch, but it sure was fun to make!
It started yesterday morning when my five year old daughter got into my craft supplies and made a paper pet collar for her stuffed dog named “Mom”.
This stuffed animal pet collar was totally her idea, with no help from me at all. I loved her craft so much, that I asked her if she would show my readers how to make it on a video.
She did this “How To” video in one take with no coaching by me. I just put the table in her room and turned on my camera.
As I was filming, I sat there amazed by what she was doing and saying. Even if I wasn’t her proud momma, I would be very impressed! I think she’s a natural. Heck, I’m 40 and just now able to be on camera without freaking out…. and I still have to do a million takes to get it right. ha!
I hope your kids will like watching the show and be inspired by her cute Stuffed Animal Pet Collar Kids Craft. She has a lot of creative ideas!
I’m very proud to introduce Siena in the very first “I’ll Show You How” Show – How to Make a Stuffed Animal Toy Pet Collar.
Show title, craft and script by Siena.
Find more of Siena’s craft videos here.
I’m not sure how regular the shows will be, but they should be FUN!
If you want to watch her momma’s DIY videos visit us on YouTube for more!

My daughter (who is is 4 years old) and I just watch the video. We smiled alot. It was totally fun to watch. When it was over she asked if we could make a collar for her dog. Keep on doing crafts for kids and showing kids how to do it. I love the show and so does my daughter.

Laurie says
So cute! She is adorable and on her way to stardom.
And my girls are going to want to make those collars.
Good job, Siena!
🙂
Karen says
Adorable!! I loved it when she said, “If you need help – you need help.” She’s very crafty!! Great job, Siena!
Margot Madison says
Maybe I’m over analyzing, but I loved how she worked through the difficult parts of the project and didn’t immediately call you over to help. (I did a little mom-panic with the scissors and the twist tie part) She really is teaching how to keep trying which is a great life AND crafting lesson! We will expect more out of this charmer.
Emily says
This is wonderful! Made my day!
Bubbles says
So cute! She is already a pro!

so sweet! And quite a natural! Impressive!!!
Screwed Up Texan says
I love this video Amy! I am actually getting my 6 yo son a ton of craft supplies for Christmas this year! You know how some kids have to their video gaming privileges taken away? My son occasionally gets his crafting taken away as a consequence. He hates video games, but give him paper, glue, and scissors and he’ll create anything you can imagine. Siena is too cute (and a Martha Stewart in the making!).
Susan says
So sorry — didn’t think my first message posted!
Susan says
Wow — it is obvious that Siena has had a chance to craft many times in the past.
As a Junior Kindergarten teacher I know how many children her age have never even held a pair of scissors — let alone cut along a straight line! It is apparent that these opportunities to explore all of the craft materials and to use her imagination have supported her fine motor skills and creativity.
Her video was absolutely charming and I look forward to many more. Thanks for sharing Siena (and Amy)!
Susan says
Wow — it is obvious that Siena has had access to all of the crafty items for a long time. As a Junior Kindergarten teacher, I have seen so many students who don’t even know how to hold scissors, let alone cut on a line. Her confident use of all the materials indicates that she’s had loads of time to practice her skills and refine all of her fine motor skills.
I just loved the video and her assortment of “stuffies” awaiting their own collars! I’m sure the Mom is quite thrilled to be the first to get a collar.
I hope that Siena will make more of these charming videos. Thanks for sharing Amy!
Marie says
Stop it!!! She’s so awesome. I love how she’s able to cut and give directions at the same time!! LOVE it!
Amy says
@Anna,
Thanks Anna. I was totally shocked by her talent. I see more videos in her future:-)
Amy says
@Brenda,
Look out Martha! Ha!
Amy says
@teresa,
Ha! Yeah, that’s a good “Siena” quote. LOL! Glad you enjoyed it.
Brenda says
Way too cute!!! Martha Stewart has some competition now!!

Adorable- favorite quote- “if someone needs to help you, someone needs to help you.”
Loved all the stuffed friends that came to the show.
great idea- sharing with my kids- =)
Beth of Olliebop says
My best parenting moments are when the kids have an idea and we just “go with it!”. Well done!
Go Siena! And go Mom! {I’m referring to you, Amy, the human Mom — not the stuffed one…. love that!}.
Amy says
@Daniela Dobson,
Awesome!!
Daniela Dobson says
Adorable. Watched it with my son this morning and he wants to make a collar for his dog. We are making it now.
Amy says
@Karen – The Graphics Fairy,
Thanks Karen! I’ll be sure to let Siena know you’re a fan. ha!
Karen - The Graphics Fairy says

Thanks for posting this Amy, it’s adorable!
Anna says
She is a natural. My daughter will watch this when she gets home from school today. You have a mini-me, she will follow in your foot steps. I hope you will allow her to make more video’s. She is way to cute.
Amy says
@christie haggard,
She was so mad at herself for talking to me. ha!

Coincidently….Brooklyn loved it as well! The second the video started, she was glued to the computer next to me.
I need a video camera. LOL
Alexa says
This is seriously the cutest! She’s such a little pro and her end project is awesome! I hope she makes more…she’s got a fan in me.
On a related note, my niece has a craft blog (it was so cute…called Tay’s Crafty World) for 4 whole posts. I asked her why she stopped. She said she forgot her password
