Materials

Pet Tag Printable
Shrink plastic (such as Shrinky Dinks)
Scissors
Hole punch
Paper clips

Tip: Shrinkable plastic is available at stationary supply stores.

Directions

Step 1
To make a personalized Dora pet tag for your family pet, print the Pet Tag Printable on a color printer on shrink plastic, such as Shrinky Dinks (from office-supply and craft stores).
Step 2
When the ink has dried (about 10 minutes) help kids write in the name of your pet using a marker and then help cut out the shapes and punch holes where indicated.
Step 3
Follow the instructions on the shrinky-plastic package to shrink the tags in the oven (about 5 minutes). Remove from the oven, allow to cool, and attach to your pet's collar.

Tip: Enlarge or shrink this design to the size that's best for your pet.
