Masked and Whiskered
Make a cat mask! Cut a paper plate in half, and use one half for your mask, so that the curved edge of the plate is at the top of the mask. Cut out two triangles for your eyes and a triangle for your nose. Glue three pipe cleaners on each side of the nose for whiskers. Cut ears out of construction paper and glue them on top. Then punch a hole through the sides of the mask and thread some yarn around it so you can tie it to your head. And don't forget to add decorations!
