Can you put on a performance for your family or friends?
You will need:

- Glue dots
- Pen
- Pipe cleaners – brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, multi

Instructions:
- Print the cat template out – you could print it onto coloured card or paper, or print it on white paper and colour it in.
- Cut the cat out.
- Using a glue dot (or craft glue or double-sided tape), stick the cat to the top of a mini popsicle stick.
