Have you always wanted a pet, but could never get one? This "How to" will show you how to make your very own pet- except on paper!
Steps
-
Get a clean sheet of notebook paper.
-
Decide what kind of pet you want to have. It doesn't even have to be a real animal; get creative and draw a dragon, or even make up your own! Just remember; keep it simple and G-rated!
-
Draw a baby version of your 'Paper Pet' and put under it its name and '0 days old'
-
Write in a list next to it of all the things you can do to care for it (Bathroom, Feed, Water, Bath, Exercise, Medicine, Toys)
-
You are now ready to start the game. EXAMPLE: Let's "feed" our pet! Draw a picture of food next to your pet. Erase your pet's starting position, and draw it eating the food.
-
Mark off "feed" or whatever action you did. When you finish all of your actions, you move up a day! Change '0' days to '1' day and so on. Congratulations! You now have a paper pet! Be sure not to leave it alone too long or it will "die"!
Tips
- You could make the days equal a year for them and when they reach a certain age they would die.
- You can also make it that the pet gets married and has children then when it dies the children become your next pets or just start with a new one.
- You could make different checklists for each stage of your pets life. For example, when it is a baby, you can bottle feed it, and when it is an adult you can feed it regular food.
- After a certain amount of days, make your pet evolve into a bigger stage.
- Invent your own pets. Be creative. Make it a alien or some sort of monster.
- Maybe even add stickers.Be creative !
Warnings
- Make the paper short, you don't want to erase so much you have to start on a fresh sheet of paper with something that small!
