Mew, Mew! Unleash your inner cat-lover and make an adorable Paper Plate Cat Craft with the kids – it’s a purr-fect way to get creative and have fun! All you need is some paper plates, construction paper, scissors and glue for this fun project that takes no time at all. (We’ve also attached our quick and easy cat craft template too.)
We’ve made an orange tabby cat modelled on our real life kitties, Ginge and Fluffball! You can of course paint your paper plate pussy cat any colour you like! It’s fun to make your cat resemble your own pet or perhaps your dream kitty cat if you don’t have a real one?
We also created a Black Moving Eye Cat modelled on our real life kitten Runty. Did you guess he was the runt of the litter?
Paper Plates are just perfect for making animal crafts with aren’t they? I love how this Paper Plate Cat craft turned out. It’s lots of fun and is really easy to do with the kids whether they’re preschoolers or older children.
It’s always lovely to give kids the opportunity to express themselves through arts and crafts and this Orange Tabby Cat craft is sure to be a purr-fect activity!
How to Make a Cat From a Paper Plate
Craft Supplies Needed:
Tabby Cat Craft
1 – Start by painting your paper plate orange (or any other colour you’d like your cat to be).
2 – Tabby cats typically have M shaped stripes on their foreheads so you can paint those on with a darker orangey brown colour.
3 – Next you’ll need to cut out the facial features from paper or cardstock. You’ll need ears, eyes, white face, cheeks and nose. These are easy to cut out by hand but if you prefer you can use our cat template. (It’s only a rough hand sketch I’m afraid, but you might find it useful.)
4 – Then glue the cat’s facial features onto the front of the paper plate.
5 – Glue the outer and inner ears together.
6 – Finally, glue the ears to the back and your paper plate tabby cat is ready to play!
