Treat cans

Make treat cans to hold your dogs' treats.

• You can get whatever pattern or design of thick construction paper you want.


• Make a cylinder with one sheet of paper and tape the end.


• Then cut a circle with scissors on the other paper and make sure it is a little bigger than the bottom side of the cylinder.


• Using the same piece of paper or another one, cut another circle a little bigger to cover the front side of the cylinder. Tape each circle with the cylinder.


• Fill the can with treats


• Make a small hole in one end of the cylinder to shake the treats out


• Now it is time for decorating (my favorite part!) You can get a piece of regular white paper and write TREATS on it with markers. You can put stickers on it or put a picture of your dog. Use your imagination. Be creative.

Editor's note: Angie, we thought this would be better as a holder for dog treats than a tug-of-war toy since it wouldn't be good for the dog to be chewing on decorations.
