Pete Inspired Handprint Keepsake Idea For Story Time Fun!

Handprint Pete The Cat Craft

Hi friends! Are you as BIG of a fan as we are of the Pete the Cat book character like we are?? Of course you are! I mean – who isn’t especially if they have young children in their home?!

Recently my son and I made this adorable Pete the Cat Inspired Handprint Keepsake Idea together and it’s the PERFECT way to celebrate one of our favorite author and children’s book character together!

Plus it makes for a great keepsake and/or decor piece to keep for years to come {teachers – think bulletin board decoration idea to show off!} You could even turn your paper Pete the Cat craft into a puppet for some pretend play. So many ways to take this blue cat craft idea!

So what are you waiting for? Make your own GROOVY Pete Inspired Handprint Keepsake and read some books in honor of him! Happy crafting my friends!
