Circle Cat Craft -
Shapes, Scissor Skills, Colors, and Counting Practice
This "scaredy cat" craft can be used to teach a variety of skills. You don't
have to use all the thoughts for lessons... just choose the ones you're
working on with your child. There is a second template with a body
that you can optionally use.
Materials:
- scissors,
- glue,
- printer,
- paper
Thoughts for Lessons:
SCISSOR SKILLS:
- This craft has lots of circles to cut out -- good scissor practice!
- You can precut the template into separate pieces (roughly) to make it a bit easier for beginning crafters to cut out the circles.
SHAPES:
- Separate the circles and triangles.
COLORS:
- verbally instruct the children on how to assemble the shapes using the colors of the shapes. (ie: Take the black circle and glue it on the grey circle.).
SIZES:
- show the children two circles and ask -- is this one bigger, smaller or the same size as that one.
COUNTING:
- Count the circles.
Assembly Directions:
Glue the two grey triangles, slightly crooked, on top of the large
circle head.
Glue the two small pink triangles into the ears.- Glue the small half circle mouth, the two eyes and
the small black circle (nose) onto the head.
Assembly - Template 2:
to make the body, glue the head you've completed from template 1
onto the large body- Glue the circle paws onto the bottom of the body
- Glue the tail together from the largest circle to the smallest and attach to the body
