“C” is for Cool Cat – Kid Craft

Put your dancing shoes on because we are getting ready to DANCE into craft time with our “C” is for Cool Cat kid craft idea!!!

Inspired by the new book Pete the Cat and the Cool Cat Boogie by Kimberly and James Dean, today I present to YOU our “C” is for Cool Cat Popsicle Stick Kid Craft Idea!

Join Pete the Cat in a brand-new story from New York Times bestselling author-illustrator team James and Kimberly Dean! Pete is learning a new dance—the Cool Cat Boogie! When he hears a groovy beat, he’s full of happy in his feet. But when Grumpy Toad tells him, “Pete, you dance all wrong!” Pete is determined to become a better dancer. With the help of his friends and some wise words from Owl, Pete learns that he’s his grooviest when he’s being himself. Includes step-by-step dance moves so readers can dance along with Pete!

And our craft is just that – a “C” shape made out of popsicle sticks that we turned into a COOL CAT to represent the fun character in the book!

Supplies: All you will need to complete this simple craft is SIX jumbo popsicle sticks, blue craft paint, paint brush, school glue, scissors and cardstock.

Now take your SIX jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like a “C” {because “C” is for Cool Cat!} Then add blue craft paint on top and cardstock embellishments to give it the look of a cat.

Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

Super easy, right? And the perfect craft to do after storytime and round off the celebration!

I just hope our simple and affordable craft tutorial inspires some creativity within you! You should also check out our Handprint Pete blog post. Happy crafting, my friends!!!
