Craft Supplies:

Large Brown Paper Bag
Black Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Paper Brush
Scissors
Colored Cardstock Paper
Thick Tacky Glue
Medium Sized Pom Poms
Pipe Cleaners
Large Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

First things first – lay your brown paper bag on a flat surface, with the bottom flap of the paper bag DOWN. You want your child to paint the side of the paper bag that is completely FLAT.
Squirt some black craft paint on a paper plate. Have children paint their paper bag completely black. Set aside to let it dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, grab the bag and scissors. Cut out a large triangle from the OPEN END of the bag, in the center, so you create TWO ears for your feline friend. Please use our image to see an example.
Now grab your wiggle eyes, pipe cleaners {two per cat} and pom pom.
Take the pipe cleaners and twist them together in the center, to create whiskers.
Now glue all three materials {wiggle eyes, pom pom nose and pipe cleaner whiskers} onto the face of your cat on the paper bag.
Finally, grab your choice in color of cardstock and cut out two triangles for the center of the cat’s ears. Glue those to the paper bag as well.
Be sure to set aside your cat piece in an undisturbed area, so it dries completely.
Once your Paper Bag Black Cat is dry and everything is secured in place, you can display your cat friend FLAT {just how you crafted it} or open up the bag a bit so it stands up nicely.

We also have a PAPER PLATE version of a black cat that you should check out! That post was originally intended to go with an Eric Carle book for story time but fans on Pinterest are drawn to it for Halloween {and I think they are super smart and creative for that!}
