clear tape
empty/clean tuna
can
scissors
glue stick
black chenille stem

PREPARATION:
Reproduce the Cat Head, Cat Body and Can Cover on to
colored paper. [FOR SAFETY: If
applicable, apply clear tape over the inside rim of the tuna can to
cover any sharp edges.]
STEP-BY-STEP
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut out the Cat Head, Cat Body and Can Cover.
2. Using your glue stick, apply glue to the Tab
underneath the Cat Head, then place the Tab around the exterior rim of the tuna
can (Cat Head should face the inside of the can) (see Illustration A).
3. Apply glue to the blank side of your Can
Cover, then place the Can Cover around the exterior rim of the tuna can (see
Illustration B).
4. Curl the black chenille stem around your
finger (Cat’s Tail). Tape one end of the
Cat’s Tail down to the asterisk located on the Cat Body (see Illustration C).
5. Roll up several pieces of clear tape, sticky
side outward, and place them where it says, “place tuna can here.” Press the
tuna can down on to the tape to hold in place (see Illustration D).
6. Place the five paper clips inside the
Purrrfect Paper Clip Holder.
CHARACTER BUILDER:
In the Bible story “Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand,” God
assures us that He will always meet our needs. All He asks of us is to trust in Him. Pray and watch what God
can do for you. Every time you reach for a paper clip from your Purrrfect Paper
Clip Holder, read the Bible verse Psalm 23:1 located on the can cover, as a
reminder to want for nothing – but to trust
the Lord, your shepherd for everything!
