We have been on a roll lately with sharing kid craft ideas on Glued To My Crafts, that go along with our favorite children’s books.

My son and I have been really enjoying creating {and sharing} these ideas with you all. I sure hope they have been inspiring some craftiness in you and your child, as well as some creative play & reading time afterwards!

Splat the Cat by Rob Scotton is another favorite children’s book series of ours. My personal favorite from it, is Splat the Cat Blow, Snow, Blow.

When I first picked it up at Barnes & Noble, I instantly thought of all the snow days we get in Wyoming during the winter. Although I’m not as anxious as Splat to see snow and play in it – I do enjoy reading the book a time or two!

So what are you waiting for? The full instructions for our Paper Plate Splat The Cat {Kid Craft} can be found below. Don’t forget to read the book in combination with the craft.

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Splat The Cat made from a paper plate, on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
