Both of my girls are little puppy lovers. Especially Kaylee. From her backpack for school to the drawings she doodles in her free time—it’s all puppy themed. She even had a puppy birthday party last year with her friends. We made these little puppies out of washcloths and they were a huge hit! I found the idea from a Girl Called Kim and we made them our own with these cute little face details. We’ve made four of them now and the girls want to go back and get more washcloths to make them in a rainbow of colors!

While my girls enjoy sewing, I’m always on the lookout for a quick and easy no-sew project for kids like this one. Once that they can make together! We matched their eyes, coloring, and collars to make two washcloth puppies like the ones from the Disney Junior show, Puppy Dog Pals.
