When you're in the kitchen, don't forge the four-legged members of the family. These dog biscuits are easy to make and will be greatly appreciated! You can even personalize them with your pet's name.

Here's an idea you can adapt to just about any animal. Start with a simple wicker basket and fill it with all the goodies your pet loves best. Just make sure they're healthy and nutritious!

In just two easy steps you can create a toy your cat will love to play with.

String wooden beads and spools, plastic buttons, and a bell onto a shoelace and your bird will busily move them around with his beak.

Bring joy to your pet's tank with a plastic Christmas tree. Attach a plastic bead to the top with silicone aquarium sealant (ask a grown-up to help).Wrap lead plant weights around the trunk or set it in a suction cup (for filtration tubes) stuck to the tank's floor.

This adorable animal night-light (We have instructions and templates for an elephant as well as this turtle) makes the perfect addition to any nursery, and it's a breeze to make. You can even watch Martha make one in a step-by-step video.

With a bit of felt and glue you can convert mitten or glove orphans into playful hand puppets. We've got templates for a dragon, frog, shark, duck, moose, chick, penguin, dinosaur and cat, so you can create a whole menagerie!

Here's a great project for the whole gang at a birthday party. You can either purchase the wooden fish or make them yourself:

Making this tin can dog is a perfect project for you and your kids to do together. Almost everything you need can be found in your tool chest, kitchen cabinet, and recycling bin.

Pom-poms are a breeze to make and the results look professional. Click below for specific instructions to make a ladybug, a baby chick, and a caterpillar, but by varying the color, size, and placement of the pom-poms, you can create just about any animal.

Shrinky Dinks -- plastic sheets that shrink and thicken in the oven -- are a lot of fun, and kids love the results. With our downloadable templates creating a customized ID tag for your pet is a snap!
