Share the awareness for Autism in the classroom, office, or room at home with this adorable cut-and-fold “I Love Someone with Autism” paper dog.  We came across this easy-to-assemble template and thought we’d share it with all of you to display in the spirit of Autism Awareness Month.

Holding a heart-shaped sign with the words “I Love Someone with Autism,” and with a rainbow autism awareness ribbon on his right ear, this cut-and-fold toy dog can be a wonderful display on a desk or side table in your classroom, office, or room.

Some other great ways to incorporate Autism Awareness into this template can be to (before folding and gluing):

• Draw and color in puzzle pieces on the dog template
• Personalize it as a gift to someone special by writing a message
• Coloring in the dog template with your child
