It's always cute when you see cats dressed up for Halloween, but the truth is, not all cats like that. What can you do with your cat to celebrate the season? Well, here are some ideas...
Cardboard Jack-o-lantern
Materials:
1 medium cardboard box
1 scissors
Some markers
Cat toys
A cat to join in the fun!
Optional: non-toxic paint (orange)
What you do:
Using a marker, draw a jack-o-lantern face on the box. Cut out the eye holes, mouth, nose, and anything else you may want to cut out. You may want to consider the mouth being big enough for your cat to get through. Decorate the box with markers (or orange non-toxic paint) and place cat toys inside. Then let your cat explore!
Knitted Cat Toy
Materials:
Yarn (preferably orange or black to go with the season!)
Knitting needles (any size)
Knowledge on how to do the Knit Stitch
Crochet Hook
Catnip (optional)
What you do:
Cast on. (Cast on as many stitches as you think will make a good sized cat toy.) Knit a medium sized square. Bind off. Attach tassels to the edges using a crochet hook. Tassels will get your cat's attention. You should make the toy one color, and the tassels another. (if you want to get fancy, :) that is!) Cats LOVE yarn, so this toy should be a big hit in your house. If you want to, you may rub catnip on the toy to make it more interesting.
Cat Pilllow
Materials:
2 pieces of felt
Lots of fiberfill
1 sewing needle
Some thread
Optional: Pieces of felt to make a design on top of the pillow
You may need scissors
What you do:
Lay the two pieces of felt on top of eachother. Sew together three of the edges. Fill up the pillow with fiberfill, and sew together the remaining edge. If you want, you may sew a design onto the top of the pillow with felt. You can give the pillow to your cat, or you could display it!
These are just a few ideas to get you excited about fall. Feel free to make up your own. Good luck!
