These letter crafts are more than just a fun activity. They're a great way to introduce letter recognition creatively. The letter 'C' can be a little bit complicated. What’s it noise? Is it a hard ‘C’ like a ‘K’ sound? Or is it a soft ‘C’ more like an ‘S’ sound? Whether you're a crafty parent or an inventive homeschooler, these projects can become a great addition to your curriculum.

But while you get a cute little finished product, there’s a lot to be said about the process of making crafts themselves. There's something truly magical about watching a simple 'C' shape transform into an adorable cat before its very eyes. And let's not forget about the essential skills that these crafts can help improve, like fine motor skills.

Craft time is also an opportunity to open up conversations. Talk about other words that start with 'C.' Is it a candy cane? Or a caterpillar? Maybe a car? Who knows? You could even tie it in with a 'C'-themed story or a sensory bin full of 'C' items. These little discussions can make learning letters so much more fun for your little ones.

How To Make C Is For Cat

Here are the step-by-step instructions for the C letter of the alphabet craft!

Start by downloading, printing, and cutting out the free letter C shape template at the bottom of the post.

Trace the upper case letter C, the cat ears, and the tail out of the black paper. Trace the cat's eyes, and two thin rectangle pieces for the whiskers out of the white paper, and the triangle nose out of light pink paper.

Cut out those pieces from the construction paper.

Cat's Body

Glue the ear to the top of the C on the back of the letter. Then glue the cat tail to the bottom part of the curve of the C on the back again.

Next, grab the two white circles and draw oval eye shapes up the middle of both white circles and color them in.

Glue the eyes to the top of the C underneath each of the cat ears.

For the cat whiskers and nose, glue together the whiskers cris-cross and the pink nose with the top of the triangle pointed down.

Glue the whiskers and nose under the cat's eyes to complete the cat's face!
