How to make your Paper Plate Cat - Instructions:
STEP 1: Cut out your paper plate cat craft.
Start by cutting your paper plate into the shape of a cat's face. Use the image below as a guide when cutting out your cat's face shape.
Then using offcuts from your paper plate (or a new paper plate if you don't have large enough offcuts) cut out two triangle ears, two oval eyes, a rounded triangle chin, and a tiny triangle nose.
STEP 2: Paint your paper plate cat craft.
Now it is time to start painting your cat craft. Start by painting one ear orange and then lightly brush the other ear with blue paint.
Take your grey paint and use it to paint the top of your cat's head and also the nose's bridge. It might help to draw the shape in pencil first using the image below as a guide.
Using the same colours you used for the ears, paint one side of the cat's face orange and the other blue.
Paint the eye pieces green and the nose piece peach. Once the paint has dried glue the eyes, nose and chin to your cat face.
STEP 3: Add details to your paper plate cat craft.
With a black marker draw in the mouth and glue in place 6 brown pipe cleaner whiskers!
