Step 3 Draw two eyes, a nose, and a puppy mouth to make the dog’s face.

Tie a pup to each kid’s chair or arrange the balloons in a pack above the cake table and let each guest take home a “pet.” For more doggie décor, go to the Getting Started chapter of Celebrate Everything! For fun balloon ideas, check out the Décor Details chapter.
