Little Kitty Craft for Kids

 Recently my daughter and I read a book called "Pick a Pet".  It's about how one little girl picked a pet for herself, and it was a cute little kitty.  After reading this book many times, and before we returned it to the library, we made this little kitty craft for my daughter to keep.

I found a perfect blog where you can find easy step by step instructions with pictures and how to make other animals as well:
