🖌️ How To Make This Cat in the Hat Craft for Kids
- Step 2: Cover your surface in newspaper or something to protect the surface from paint messes.
- Step 3: Cut the front and back of a cereal box out. For each cat, paint two red pieces and three white pieces. Allow the paint to dry completely before running the cardboard through your printer.
- Step 4: Once the paint is dry, print the hat out twice. You will print the hat once on red and once on white.
- Step 5: Print the bow on the red cereal box.
- Step 6: Print the head and body on the white cereal box.
- Step 7: Allow the ink to set and then cut the pieces out.
- Step 8: Glue the pieces together on a piece of colored cardstock. You will need to glue another piece of cardstock onto the back of the first piece to give the hat room since it is larger than the first paper will fit.
The kids will have so much fun putting this together!
