Kids’ Paper Crafts: How to Make Cats

Free patterns for paper craft cats are a great way for children to spend a rainy day inside, and the simplicity of most of the patterns make them a good project for parents as well. Most of the cat paper craft patterns are simply downloaded and printed, and can be completed with a minimum of assistance from adults, which can provide children with a real sense of accomplishment. The diversity in skill levels required to complete available cat paper craft projects results in the inclusion of kids of all ages, so there is no talk of a child being too young to participate.

All that is necessary to create these wonderful cat paper crafts is a computer and printer, and basic craft supplies that most homes with children already have in the house. The majority of the cat paper craft projects are just comprised of printing the pattern, cutting or trimming, and then using tape or glue to bond the project together after decorating.
