Letter C is for Cat Activity

Print out the letter c is for cat template on to white Cardstock paper. This makes the paper easier to handle for your kids and makes it look nicer once your child glues it on.

Cut out the circle. You can use a Round Circle Punch for this. My 3 year old and 7 year old loved trying to place the circle cutter in the correct place and then loved squeezing it. My 3 year old needed help but my seven year old did it herself. This part was a great way to work their visual perception and strengthen those hands and fingers. I posted a video of them doing this on Round Punch.

Have your child glue on the circles according to the example.

Besides being perfect for your letter of the week crafts you can also discuss more about caterpillars and the butterfly life cycle. Do the butterfly yarn activity or the finger paint butterfly craft.
