Brighten your child’s day by setting up this Popsicle Stick Cats In Sweaters kid craft idea on the kitchen table today! This super adorable craft is sure to bring an explosion of happiness while they create AND play with it afterwards!

You should know, I’m not at all a cat person {even though my husband often says I was a cat in my former life.} We have never owned a cat and probably never will. I can’t say cats are my favorite…

So on that note, I’m actually not really sure where the inspiration for this particular cat themed kid craft tutorial came from. It was just one of those ideas where I was sitting on the couch and one thing led to another & somehow I was led to my craft table where these cats in sweaters were born. I honestly wish sometimes I could bottle up my creativity and sell it!

Anyways – I thought the finished product was super cute and it was worthy to be put on Glued To My Crafts today. I hope you see my vision for these Popsicle Stick Cats In Sweaters Puppets and are inspired to recreate them with your child as well! Wouldn’t they be great for some pretend puppet play this afternoon?

Although I hope you have the urge to make adorable feline friends everyday of the year, I could see this being a fun winter and/or Christmas craft so be sure to bookmark this particular post for the future. I went with more neutral colors for my cats but couldn’t you see green & red yarn being fun for the holidays?!

Now enough chit chat – what are you waiting for?! Let’s grab some EXTRA JUMBO popsicle sticks and some colorful yarn to create some cats in sweaters puppets today! I wanna see pictures so don’t forget to tag us on Facebook or use our special branded #gluedtomycrafts hashtag for us to see!

Happy crafting my friends and hopefully your crafty plans are PURR-FECT!

FYI – I recently found these EXTRA LARGE popsicle sticks at my local Walmart store but I also found them on Amazon. They are much larger at 7.9 inches so this gives you more room to work with and probably have better end results! Although I won’t discourage you from giving regular jumbo popsicle sticks a try!

Popsicle Stick Cat In A Sweater Craft Supplies:

* EXTRA LARGE Popsicle Sticks – they are 7.9 inches long!
* Crayons {or craft paint & paint brushes}
* Colorful Craft Yarn
* Pipe Cleaners
* Craft Scissors
* Colored Cardstock
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Black Sharpie Marker
optional – embellishments like glitter, stickers, etc.

Directions:

* First things first – you need ONE popsicle stick and your choice of coloring medium. I used crayons.
* Go ahead and color your popsicle stick however you like, to start making your cat’s body.
* When done coloring, grab your pipe cleaner and bend/fold it around the center of the popsicle stick, to create the cat’s tail.
* Follow that up by wrapping your craft yarn, SEVERAL times around the center of the stick, to create the sweater.
* When done wrapping it around and you have the look you like, cut the yarn with the scissors and secure the loose end with some glue, on the back.
* Now you are ready to really give your cat some life. Glue the wiggle eyes in place and cut out small triangle ears from cardstock, that you secure to the popsicle stick as well.
* Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on a nose, whiskers and even some claws towards the bottom.
* Finish it off with any other embellishments you see fit and allow it to dry completely before you play with it proudly.
* Don’t forget to share pictures of your popsicle stick cat friends with us! #gluedtomycrafts
