Stick Puppets for Kids – Inspired by Emma Dodd

Meet Dog—a lovable pup with one black spot on his left ear and a knack for getting messy! What starts as a simple day turns into a colorful adventure, as Dog collects one bright spot after another.

🍓 A red splotch of jam at breakfast.
🎨 A blue blob of paint from a little too much fun.
🌿 A green splatter of grass after a playful roll outside.
