Paper plate black cat

    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!
