This past weekend we finally got a chance to see the Secret Life of Pets and it was so cute and hilariously funny.
I, of course, thought I had to make these cute little characters, Max and Gidget and add them to the Crafting with Kids series.

Instructions:
- Attach 2 wiggly eyes using the craft glue.
