Tracking Dogs Scavenger Hunt

Cost: Under $3.00
Time: 1.5 hour

Create a pet-centric scavenger hunt by hiding pictures of famous dogs, such as Lassie, Wishbone, McGruff, Toto, Snoopy, Scooby-Do, Blue from Blue's Clues, and Clifford the Big Red Dog, throughout your school or Book Fair.

Put these answers on the bottom of milk carton doghouses we suggest as part of your doggy décor. Get directions on how to create the doghouse.
