Many thanks to Valerie Spooner from Ladysmith for this fun guest post!
My storytime
regulars LOVE Pete the Cat and I love easy to make props for retelling stories.
After spending way too much time on Pinterest and not seeing anything I loved
(anyone else hate toilet paper tubes??) I had a burst on inspiration and made
this guy:
It’s affordable enough that the
kids can make their own to take home, too!
Supplies:
- Yellow paper cups (Dollar Tree is
great for these, or you can get them at Walmart)
- Velcro
- Buttons (I just used buttons
I had on hand - I'm regretting not buying colorful buttons like in
the story)
- Pete the cat coloring page,
available at http://www.petethecatbooks.com/activities/rock-color-pete-cat/
(I just used his head and upper body and cut the rest off)
- Crayons
- Scissors
- Tape (to attach Pete’s head to the cup)
