Are you ready for a fun, interactive Halloween craft? Check out this super cute hidden cat pumpkin craft! I love that the pumpkin opens, revealing the hidden cat. It was pretty easy to make and turned out great! I think your preschooler will love this one.
Supplies Needed:
- Free hidden cat pumpkin craft template (downloadable PDF)
- markers or crayons
- one brad
- scissors
- glue stick
How To:
After you print the template, color the pumpkin and the cat. Be creative! We added a jack-o-lantern face to our pumpkin.
Cut out the cat and the pumpkin. Once you have your pumpkin cut out, cut along the dotted zigzag line, making your pumpkin into two pieces.
Stick the brad through the dark circle (on the left side) of the top pumpkin piece. Then stick the same brad through the dark circle of the bottom pumpkin piece. Close the brad. Now you have created a hinge that allows your pumpkin to open and close.
It’s time to attach the cat! Add glue to the front side of the cat’s body and then stick it onto the backside of the bottom pumpkin piece. Make sure to leave the cat’s head sticking up so that you will see it when you open the pumpkin. Let your project dry before having lots of fun opening and closing your pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
