Materials

  • Colored cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Red paint
  • Q tip or pencil with eraser
  • Cat in the Hat template

Instructions

  • Download the Cat In The Hat template and print it out on white cardstock.
  • Begin by grabbing a pencil or a q-tip - we're going to use the eraser side of the pencil or the cotton end of the q-tip as our paintbrush.
  • Dip it into a small pool of red paint, and then make dots all around the top, middle, and bottom portions of the hat.
  • Now, add dots all over the bow tie as well.
  • Next, cut out the pieces then glue the body to the front of the cat's neck.
  • Take the cat's white fur and glue it in the middle of the body.
  • Now, position the bow tie in the middle of the neck and glue it down.
  • Glue the hat to the top of the head. Pull the ears forward, right on top of the hat.
  • Finish off by gluing the Cat In The Hat into the colored paper.
