Paper Plate Pilgrim Cat Craft Idea For Thanksgiving

With every holiday comes new additions in our ever-growing children’s book collection. So of course, when I saw the book Pete the Cat : The First Thanksgiving by James Dean, I just had to make it ours! I have no regrets on adding that particular book to our home library!

Join Pete in New York Times bestselling artist James Dean’s Pete the Cat picture book series as Pete celebrates Thanksgiving in this groovy lift-the-flap book!

Starring in the school Thanksgiving play would make even the coolest cat nervous. But when Pete the Cat gets onstage, he makes learning the story of the first Thanksgiving fun. With thirteen flaps that open to reveal hidden surprises, this book is sure to be a holiday favorite for every Pete the Cat fan.

Celebrate Thanksgiving and this awesome {& groovy} book with today’s easy Paper Plate Pilgrim Cat craft tutorial! Not only is it super simple and fun for ALL ages BUT this little pilgrim won’t break the holiday budget either!

So what are you waiting for? Let your imagination go wild and create this adorable pilgrim craft with your child today! Don’t forget to grab the book to read in celebration and really make an afternoon out of it! You can find ALL the details you need to know, in our full tutorial below!
