Paper Plate Black Cat In Pumpkin - Kid Craft

Bringing a little Halloween spook to your crafting plans! Make some magic with this adorable paper plate black cat in pumpkin craft – it’s purrrfect for the season!

Craft Supplies:

  • Cat Printable – on our landing page
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Crayons, Coloring Pencils or Markers
  • Scissors
  • Large Paper Plate
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Stapler
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Eyeball Stickers or Wiggle Eyes
  • optional materials – green ribbon or pipe cleaner for pumpkin stem

Directions:

  • First things first – print the cat template that is listed above in the supply list. Print it out on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You need ONE cat printable per craft.
  • Grab the crayons {or markers, pencils etc.} and color the cat face and paws in the printable. I went with black but you can go with ANY color{s} you like.
  • Once done with the coloring, trim out each section in the printable and set aside. Discard excess paper.
  • Now grab the large paper plate, paint brush and orange craft paint. Have children paint their paper plate completely ORANGE.
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry a bit.
  • Now grab your black and brown cardstock.
  • Out of the black cardstock, cut out some jack-o-lantern features.
  • Out of the brown cardstock, trim out a rectangular stem for the pumpkin. Set those aside.
  • Grab your painted paper plate and scissors. Cut out a small section to be the “lid” of the pumpkin. Just a sliver should be cut off and be the “hat” for the cat.
  • Now grab the stapler, glue and all the cardstock pieces.
  • Staple the cat face to the larger paper plate piece, and follow that up by stapling on the pumpkin top “hat” to the cat’s head.
  • Go ahead and either staple or glue the cat paws in place on the paper plate.
  • Add the wiggle eyes so your cat can see.
  • Finish that off by gluing on the black jack-o-lantern pieces to the center of the larger paper plate piece.
  • Finally – take the green ribbon, tie it like a bow and staple it to the pumpkin piece, along with the brown cardstock stem on top.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
