Halloween Cat

Halloween Cat

Posted 2013-10-25 by Oxford Explorerfollow


A great paper plate craft which involves painting, cutting and sticking to create an arching cat, perfect for a Halloween decoration. I made this with my three year old but did all the cutting myself. Over 5's would be able to do more of this craft themselves.

I planned a black cat for Halloween but my son was very insistent that it should be blue, so blue it is.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: 5 to 10s
Level: Medium

Materials
  • 1 paper plate
  • Paint
  • Scraps of black and white paper
  • Black marker

  • Method
  • Paint a paper plate all over in whatever colour you choose.




  • Cut an arch from the centre which will leave you with the body of the cat.



  • Using the cut out arch, cut a circle for the face, two triangles for the ears and a curve for the tail.
  • Tape or glue the head, ears and tail to the back of the body.



  • Cut out a couple of eyes from some white paper and draw a couple of circles then stick to the face of the cat.
  • Draw on a nose and mouth.



  • Cut thin strips of black paper to make whiskers and stick onto the face.

  • You can stick the cat on your wall for a fun Halloween decoration.
