It’s crazy to think that I’m already starting to share some Easter themed kid crafts on the blog this year. But as crazy as it may seem, this fun filled holiday will be here before you know it {seriously – don’t blink!}

Recently I found this adorable {and groovy} Pete The Cat – Big Easter Adventure book at our local library and I absolutely fell in love it. So much so, I went ahead and bought it for our personal collection already. This children’s series by James Dean has always been a favorite of ours as of late, and I’m super excited to be sharing this Paper Plate Easter Bunny Cat kid craft with you all today.

Not only is this craft perfect to celebrate the book and the upcoming Easter holiday – but it’s also really easy, inexpensive and fun for all ages.

So what are you waiting for? Let your imagination go wild and create this adorable craft with your child today. Don’t forget to grab the book to read in celebration, find out how Pete The Cat helps the Easter Bunny and really make an afternoon out of it!

Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Black Tissue Paper
* White/Yellow/Pink Cardstock
* Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate into a football shape. Discard the leftover pieces.
* Next cut your tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate piece and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out cat facial features from your cardstock. Think eyes, nose, whiskers, as well as those cute bunny ears!
* To finish off the kid craft – simply glue/staple the cardstock pieces in their designated spots and display proudly {you can even add other embellishments that you see fit!}
