One of my favorite Halloween spirits is the Black Cat! I love it when my kitties do the “Halloween Kitty Stretch.” Actually, our dogs do it too!
This fun Pom Pom Plate Craft is the perfect Black Cat craft to make with your kids. The fun Pom Poms and whiskers and tail are so cute and fuzzy. This is a great craft to encourage shapes, numbers and color.
Don’t miss our Black Cat Cup craft! The best part of this Black Cat Cup Craft is that you can make it all year long! You can also make this Pom Pom craft all year long. It’s perfect for Halloween, but also perfect for those kitty lovers in your life!

Instructions to make a Black Cat Pom Pom Paper Plate Craft:
Glue the pom poms to the paper plate.
Cut a black chenille stem into thirds. Twist the three pieces together in the middle and fan the stems out like cat whiskers.
Glue the twisted spot into place in the middle of the paper plate.
Cut the tongue out of the red cardstock paper.
Glue two pom poms for the cat’s nose. Then place a piece of red cardstock to be the tongue. Glue into place.
Glue the wiggly eyes over each side of the snout.
With the remaining black chenille stem, create a twisting tail.
Glue into place on the back of the paper plate so the tail wraps around the side.
To create the ears, cut two triangles from the black foam. Cut two smaller triangles from the pink cardstock.
Attach the pink triangles to the black triangles.
