Flat Cat Craft Activity

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flat Cat Craft for Kids- You can use this cute little cat to play a word game that teaches your children words that rhyme with “cat”.  Children will love making their own flat cats to take home and help them learn to read.

What you will need: Two or three Styrofoam dinner plates or heavy duty paper plate for each cat, one small paper plate, acrylic paint, glue or staples, large paper clip, and sticky note paper or plain paper.

What to do:

  1. Cut out legs, ears, and a tail from one paper plate or a Styrofoam tray. I cut the feet from around the rim of the paper plate so that they naturally bend down. Try not to have the feet and tail stick out too far.  This makes it harder to spin because the tail and legs keep bumping on things.
  2. Glue or staple the legs and tail to the top of one plate. 
  3. Cover that paper plate with another paper plate to form the cats body. The plates should be glued or stapled top to top.
  4. Fold the small plate in half to form the cats head.  Glue ears to the head at the fold.  Glue the head to the body. 
  5. Paint the cat.
