Cut out the pattern pieces. Open the seams of the cereal box and lay flat on the table. Trace one each of the head body and ears, turn the pattern pieces over and trace each piece again. Trace two each of the front and back legs, then turn the pattern pieces over and trace two of each piece again.

Cut out all pieces. Glue the two head pieces together with the outside of the cereal box together. Repeat for the body and each pair of legs. Punch out the holes. Color both sides of each piece.

Fasten pieces together with paper fasteners. Cut string into two 12" pieces. Attach one string to top of head and one to the end of the tail. Attach the other end of each string to each side of the craft stick.
