Happy Sunday my crafty readers! Did you see our Paper Plate Dr Seuss Cat In The Hat kid craft that I posted the other day?

Well – continuing on with the fun theme, I have another kid friendly craft that goes along perfectly with one of my favorite childhood books.

Cat In The Hat is probably the most recognizable Dr Seuss books around and this easy puppet kid craft is perfect to make in honor of that mischievous cat in the striped hat! And with the supplies being super simple and inexpensive on the wallet, this craft is perfect for little ones or classroom fun.

Not to mention – your finished piece will make for great imaginative play for later on in the afternoon.

So what are you waiting for? Let your imagination go wild and craft up this Paper Bag Cat in the Hat Puppet with your child today. Then grab the Dr Seuss book to read in celebration and really make an epic afternoon out of it! I bet you are both going to have a BLAST!

Happy crafting {and reading} my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s creations with us. It seriously makes my day! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Bag Cat in the Hat Puppet Supplies:

* Kraft Paper Bag
* Black Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Craft Scissors
* White/Black Cardstock
* School Glue
* Stapler
* Black/Red Marker

Directions:

* First have your child paint their paper bag completely black. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While that is drying, trace your child’s hands on the white cardstock and let them trim them out with scissors.
* Next cut out/draw on the cat’s other features with the remainder cardstock. Think face, the iconic striped hat, whiskers etc.
* To finish off the Cat In The Hat craft, simple glue/staple on the cardstock pieces in their appropriate places. Then display proudly or use as a puppet!

As an added bonus to this Dr Seuss themed blog post, I have another easy kid craft to share with you all. I don’t have a full tutorial with pictures on this particular craft, but I hope the above picture still inspires you!

You can easily make this Paper Plate Dr Seuss Mr. Brown Kid Craft by having your child paint a paper plate completely tan and then adding other features with black paint & brown cardstock. Super simple, great for kids of ALL ages and goes perfectly with the book!
