Paper Plate & Tissue Paper Black Cat Craft
Hi friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post.
Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple kid craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to create something using tissue paper and as you can image – this challenge was a breeze for us since that is one of our favorite craft mediums to use in ALL our kid craft tutorials!
So without further ado – today I present to you our Tissue Paper Black Cat tutorial that is not only super simple and really inexpensive but it’s also perfect for younger children too! Plus it goes along perfectly with one of our favorite children’s books – Have You Seen My Cat? by Eric Carle making it great excuse to have story-time too!
If you would like to make this “catty” kid craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your creations on our Facebook page wall afterwards, so we can admire your hard work! I can’t wait to see your creations! #gluedtomycrafts
