I’m hoping to encourage the PURR-FECT learning and craft creativity opportunity in your home today, with our latest Popsicle Stick “C” is for Cat kid craft tutorial!

“C” is for cat and today’s popsicle stick kid craft idea is the PERFECT way to reinforce that idea!

Inspired by my son {I’m trying to step up his letter recognition at home} today I’m sharing another kid friendly activity that is SUPER simple for kids and adults of all ages to pull together for some awesome craft time!

This Popsicle Stick Cat Kid Craft Idea is pretty easy AND completely customizable too! And it’s just that! A basic “C” shape made from craft sticks, that we turned into an adorable feline friend. Then decorate with various embellishments to really create a one-of-a-kind cat friend to enjoy!

Sounds super fun – right?! Now let’s grab our craft supplies and get to the step-by-step tutorial below!
