Tuesday Tot Craft Time: Kitty Mask

This week's craft is a kitty mask.  Now the example one is a paper plate, but we used a recycled food box to make ours.

Here is the cat face traced onto a food box.  I cut it out for my son, and he colored it.

We now have 2 other kids (sometimes more) who we meet up with every week at the library to make crafts with.  

After my son was finished coloring his rainbow kitty, I punched a hole on each side, attached some yarn, and tied it around his head.  The eye holes are to high, and we need to recut them.  He loved making this mask, and I love that it used a recycled material.

Tuesday Tot Craft Time: Kitty

This is a super cute project to make.

The supplies are cat faces on card stock, markers, 3 popsicle (2 cut in half), scissors, 2 chenille stems, and either glue or glue dots.  

My son colored all the parts separately.

And then we assembled all the parts with glue dots.  For the tail we twisted two chenille stems together and glued them to the back of the body.  When we got home we glued magnets to the back of the cat.  I think that it is really adorable.  This project was inspired by the librarian's cat.

Halloween Swap Package to Gekko

Here is the package that I sent to Gekko in Australia for Halloween.  I also included a Kool Aid juice pouch notebook, which isn't pictured here.  The small goodies are a stamp, a pencil, 2 spider rings, a parachuting black cat, and some Peanuts Gang activity pages.

Gekko was one of my Halloween ornament swap partners.  For her main ornament I made her this black cat.  It is a super easy pattern to make.  I made a different main ornament for each person according to what they said that they liked.  All of them liked witches.  Gekko liked black cats.

I also made her a cork witch as well. 

And this wreath ornament.  It was crochet around a plastic bottle ring.  You can find directions for this in any of my other blog posts about Halloween swap packages that I made.

Here are the 4 magnets that I sent out to my partners.  They are just pre-painted wooden pieces that I glued a magnet to.

I put a few of the small items inside of some of these toilet paper tube "pillow favors." 

Here are the 4 cards that I mailed to my 4 partners.  I just put some fun Halloween stickers on the folded card stock.

I hope that Gekko liked them, and I hope that she got them by now.
