Paper plate cat

Children make cat masks from paper plates.

Steps

1. Children paint a plate in the colour of their chosen cat.
2. They glue on triangle ears and whiskers made from strips of paper or pipe cleaners.
3. The teacher cuts out eye holes and attaches elastic.
4. Wearing the masks, children play at cat moves and miaowing.

Tip: Pipe cleaners make great whiskers and do not snap.

Materials needed

• Paper plates (1 per child)
• Pipe cleaners (1 pack)
• Round hat elastic (1 reel)
