- Black marker
- Tape or stapler
- Pete the Cat template (click the “click here to get your freebie” image at the end of the post)
Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this cool cat to life!
First, guide your child to glue the iris to the inner corner of the yellow eye like in the picture below.
Next, help your child to glue the pupil to the center of the black piece. Repeat this for both eyes.
Take the completed eyes and glue them to the headband’s base so they’re centered.
Now, take the small white nose and glue it below the eyes in the center of the headband.
If you want to give the eyes a little more detail, outline the top rim of each eye with a black marker.
Finally, encourage your child to take the extender pieces and tape or staple them to each side of the headband base. Wrap it around your child’s head so it fits a little loosely, then tape, staple, or paperclip it into a full circle.

Fun Children’s Books
Reading to children is not only a great way to bond with them, but it also has several important benefits for their development.
Children’s books expose kids to new vocabulary and concepts and help them to develop critical thinking skills. As they follow along with the story, kids learn to make predictions and inferences and to understand cause and effect.
