It's no secret audiences are LOVING Pete the Cat.  Kids are groovin' with our favorite feline, but don't let the fun stop at the theater!  Here are some great activities to keep the Pete fun going at home.


Hungry? How about a Pete the Cat snack?

Try this tasty graham cracker treat based on Pete's four groovy buttons!  What other snacks can you make that remind you of Pete?


Wish you had Magic Sunglasses? 
You can make your own with this fun project, and change the shape, style, and color to fit your magical needs!  What crazy-awesome world will you see?

Looking for a less ordinary project?  
Try the Pete the Catapult! This little catapult is a great family project.  Grab your own four groovy buttons and see how far you can make them fly.

And if you want to look a little more groovy...
It's time for a Pete that Cat hat! This hat also comes with instructions for a fun rhyming game.

So, what are you waiting for?  Get grooving today!

Beautiful Oops! Activity Guide

It's hard to find a better book for fun, messy, creative activities than Barney Saltzberg's Beautiful Oops!  So, put on some paint clothes, and get ready to make something awesome out of even your worst "mistake."

Straw Blowing Art
What's more fun than bendy straws AND paint?  Probably nothing.  Practice fine motor skills and see what your paint splatter turns into.  The possibilities are infinite!


Tearing Paper
How many silly ways can you tear a piece of paper?  Put on your thinking cap and your yoga pants to explore the crazy ways you can tear paper, and create an art project.


Baking Soda Paint
Creativity explodes with this recipe that creates fun, fizzy paint.  What will your shapes create?



Torn Newspaper Art
Don't toss yesterday's paper in the recycle bin.  Instead tear it into shapes, and let those shapes determine what you paint!  It's fun, and eco-friendly!


Do you have any other ideas for Oops art?  Love everything Beautiful Oops?  We would love to hear from you!
