Remember how I mentioned yesterday in our Paper Plate Cookie {Kid Craft} post, that we have been creating tons of crafts centered around my son’s favorite kid books?
Well – today’s kid friendly craft tutorial is in honor of the colorful Dr Seuss beginner book Put Me in the Zoo by Robert Lopshire. It’s a cute story that proves that “everyone has a spot” in this grand scheme of life.
This Dr Seuss Inspired Leopard Kid Craft is not only super simple and fun for those of all ages – BUT it’s also a great way to honor Dr Seuss on his upcoming birthday {March 2nd} as well!
So what are you waiting for? The “spot on” step-by-step tutorial can be found below!
Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
Paper Plate Leopard Craft Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate
* Yellow Tissue Paper
* Yellow/Red/Green/Black/Blue Cardstock
* Small Circle Punch
* Kid Craft Scissors
* School Glue
* Stapler
Directions:
* First cut your yellow tissue paper into small squares. {let the kids practice their cutting skills!}
* Put a good amount of school glue all over the paper plate. Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While your child is working on that – cut out the multicolored circles {spots} as well as the mouth, nose, eyes and ears from the cardstock.
* To finish off the paper plate leopard craft – glue on the cardstock pieces and staple on the ears onto the covered paper plate.
* Then display your piece proudly for ALL to see!
Super fun, right? I have a few more Dr Seuss inspired crafts up my sleeves – so stay tuned!

Cute craft but check the author. This book is by Robert Lopshire, not Dr Suess.

Hi Alison – thanks for the comment and clarifying this. It’s an honest mistake and really confusing since it has the Dr Seuss logo on the front. I apologize. I guess I should have known since it’s right on the cover, correct? People on the internet sometimes get it wrong 😉 It’s still a great craft to do however…
