Directions

Start by downloading the cat template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this cat template to life!

Begin by preparing the cat head for our cute kitty creation! Guide your child to fold the card base in half along the dashed line. Carefully cut along the head, making sure to leave the top intact.

Next, help your child to take the lower face and align it to the bottom of the head, then glue it in place.

Now, glue the eyes in the designated eye spots.

Place the nose at the top of the mouth line and secure it in place with glue.

Next, draw on some stripes to the top of the head and add eyebrows above the cat’s eyes.

Encourage your child to create the cat’s ears by gluing the inner ears to the outer ears.

Glue the completed ears to the back of the cat’s head.

Lastly, open up the card and write a sweet message inside!
