April is National Pet Month, which aims to promote responsible pet ownership and make people aware of the benefits of owning a pet. Pets are good company, and walking a dog can help to keep owners fit and healthy! Stroking a pet can keep you calm and relaxed. Pets need love, care and affection, and in return they give their love and their loyalty. Celebrate National Pet Month with us by choosing a 2D cardboard pet to make and take home. Have fun colouring, cutting, and sticking it together!
