Every good witch needs a friendly feline to join her in her “spook-tacular” adventures this time of year and that’s exactly what inspired today’s Clothespin Black Cat kid craft post!!!

It’s inexpensive, super simple and perfect for Halloween decor as well!!! Using a paper plate half, black tissue paper and some simple wooden clothespins – you too can whip this Black Cat craft together with your child in no time!

Sounds purrrr-rific right? I know, I know – super cheesy but I really hope this kid friendly idea inspires you! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* School Glue
* Black Tissue Paper
* 4 Wooden Clothespins
* Black/White Cardstock
* Small Pink Pom Pom
* Wiggle Eyes
* Black Marker {or black paint}
* Scissors
* Stapler

Directions:

* First have your child their paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today and the other for a rainy day!
* Next have them cut their black tissue paper into small squares.
* Squirt some glue all over your paper plate half. Have children take the tissue paper and place it on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut some cat features from the cardstock. Think pointy ears, tail, whiskers etc. Set aside.
* Finally have children “paint” their FOUR wooden clothespins completely black to represent the cat’s legs.
* To finish off the Clothespin Black Cat – glue/staple on the cardstock pieces in place, along with the wiggle eyes and pom pom nose. Then “pinch” the clothespins on the paper plate and display proudly!!!
