How to Use Cat Halloween Printables
Print out the pages on cardstock or regular paper. Decide whether you'd like to make the handprint or footprint version (or both!). Add paint to your child's hand or foot and gently press it onto the designated area of the page.
When the paint is dry, cut out the cat face from the template and glue it on top of the handprint or footprint to complete your black cat. When it's all done, you can display it as part of your Halloween decor.
