Paper Plate Black Cat

I created this paper plate black cat kid’s craft because as far as Halloween characters go, I think the black cat is commonly overlooked. You see tons of mummies, witches and monster crafts, but not very many black cat crafts.

So today I’m sharing a cute, not scary paper plate black cat that you and the kids can make. To make this cute kitty for Halloween, you’ll only need a few things.

To make this paper plate black cat you need:

• 1 paper plate
• Black acrylic craft paint
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Tape
• White craft glue
• 2 large green wiggle eyes
• 1 small pink pom-pom
• download the pattern

Helpful items:

• plastic tablecloth – to protect your table from spilled paint. Can be rinsed off in the bathtub and used again and again.
• baby wipes – perfect for wiping paint off of big and little hands!
• coffee cup – for water to rinse brushes in, safer than a glass cup and sturdier than plastic, won’t spill as easily.

Assemble the paper plate black cat:

1. Be sure kids are wearing smocks and you’ve covered the table with newspapers or a plastic tablecloth to protect your surface.
2. First you’ll want to paint the entire back side of the paper plate.
3. Use the pattern I have provided to cut the cat pieces from the plate.
4. Tape it all together.
5. Add eyes, nose and whiskers.
