Craft Supplies:
- Plastic Fork
- Black Tulip Puffy Paint
- White Cardstock Paper {2 sheets!}
- Pink Cardstock Paper
- Top Hat Printable – on our landing page
- Red Crayon or Marker
- Scissors
- School Glue
- Googly Eyes {2 per craft}
Directions:
- First squirt some black craft paint in the center of ONE of the sheets of white cardstock paper. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
- Have children take their fork – which is their “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the fur of their feline friend. Just make sure they keep the paint on the paper but they can move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle they like.
- Once they are done creating the “fur” – set it aside.
- Next up – grab the hat printable and a red marker/crayon.
- Help them color in the hat design and trim it out.
- Out of the remaining pieces of paper, cut out a small nose and thin whiskers.
- Finally – the last step of this fork painted black cat craft is to glue all your cardstock pieces {and wiggle eyes} to the painted piece of paper.
- And you are done! Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
