Paper plate craft is a great way to get your child thinking creatively about shapes. Did you know you can make a spooky black cat for Halloween out of one paper plate? Go figure!

What you need:

• 1 x paper plate
• black paint & paint brush
• 2 x googly craft eyes
• 1 x small pink pom pom
• scissors
• glue

Number of players:

Activity:

Paint the paper plate black.

Out of the flat centre part of the plate, cut a large arch. The outer section will be the cat’s body (see video).

From the plain bit of the arch you cut out, make a head (circle) and two ears (two triangles).

From the fluted section, cut a small arc for a tail.

Out of whatever is left over, cut six thin slivers to use as whiskers.

Glue it all together to make your cat.

Add your eyes and nose.

Meow!
