This is a GREAT craft that the kids remember fondly -- the last time we did it was Oct 27, 2007 (in Denver) and it's just as fun 2 years later .... it's an especially good for a don't-feel-quite-well-but-are-getting-bored kinda day .....
Take 9x12 construction paper -- the thicker the better. Fold in half (so it's 9x6) and with a white colored pencil (crayons don't seem to give the depth of color you want), draw a tail, body, head and ears ....
Cut it out .... keeping outside the white lines ...
and then put in the details using colored pencils as they really do color better:
When you go to stand-up the cats, if your construction paper is a bit wimpy (ours was!), you can use that extra tail piece as a brace on the legs:
Enjoy your Halloween night .....

I love these, Mary! Just the thing for under-the-weather kids!
