Pets play an important role in our homes and our lives. Don’t worry if you don’t have a pet – you can still participate in Dress up your pet day! But before you begin – make sure you have permission to dress your pet, and PLEASE make sure your pet is a willing participant.
Pet stores have plenty of clothes, but you can be creative with making a cape, using doll clothes and even baby clothes if your pet is small enough.
If you do dress your pet, be sure to take a photo and share it with us here at HomeschoolHoliday.com.
If you don’t have a pet, or can’t use your pet to celebrate this day, there are some easy alternatives.
One great way is to use a favorite stuffed animal.
Even homemade costumes for a favorite stuffed animal count for Dress Up Your Pet day!


Homeschool Holiday as a sample pack of our PET PAPER DOLLS exclusively for Curriculum Club Members. This is a great way to celebrate Dress your Pet Day!
The download contains our BUNNY paper doll as well as 10 different animal coloring pages you can print and color. Color these animal pages anyway you want then add hats, glasses and other fun items by coloring them or by cutting them from magazines and gluing them to the coloring pages.
