Craft project #25: Card stock cats


These cats were super easy, cheap, and became a fun toy for E Ann that she played with for days. You just need scissors, glue, card stock, and crayons. Take a rectangular sheet of card stock and cut a square out of it. Fold the square in half and cut a semi-circle as you see here. This will be the cat's legs and body. Stand the "legs and body" up like you might a greeting card. Cut a slit in the front of the "body" where you can later insert the head. Cut a circle of the remaining card stock and cut this out for the head. Cut out tiny ears and a tail. Decorate the face and body with crayons. Attach ears to head and tail to body. Slip the head in the slit you cut for the body, and you're done. It was important to E Ann to also have kittens, and having those made the cats a family, and I think that's one of the reasons she played with them for so long.
