Groovy Buttons Craft Idea Using A Paper Plate
Hi my GROOVY friends! Are you a big fan of the Pete the Cat children’s book series like we are? My son is ALWAYS requesting to read one at bedtime. I admit, I’m starting to enjoy them as well.
So on that note, not only am I super excited to be sharing this really easy and inexpensive Paper Plate Button craft idea with you all today but I’m also proud to say, it goes along perfectly with the book where Pete the Cat is wearing his favorite shirt—the one with the four totally groovy buttons. But when one falls off, does Pete cry? Goodness, no! He just keeps on singing his song—after all, what could be groovier than three groovy buttons? Count down with Pete in this rocking new story from the creators of the bestselling Pete the Cat books “His Four Groovy Buttons” by James Dean.
Paired with our simple craft tutorial found below, this is the perfect way to create a jam-packed {but fun} afternoon with story time and craft time. Yup – this is a must-do craft activity that is perfect for kids of all ages and you won’t believe how simple it is!!!
So what are you waiting for? Grab the supplies listed below and get to work on this “GROOVY” craft today! Then when you are done, pair it with the suggested book and make an entire day out of it!
Happy crafting {and reading} my friends! I can’t wait to see pictures of your finished creations on our Facebook page when you are done! #gluedtomycrafts
