Fun Animal Friday Bengal Cat Craft

Create a purrfect cat!

Activity best for children age 2 and up

Today we enjoyed an animal presentation with Zovargo and met a new furry friend, Leo the Bengal Cat! His markings are unique compared to other domestic cats. Patterns like these can help animals hide. Leo might not live in the wild, but other cats, like leopards and cheetahs, have similar markings to help them hide in their natural surroundings. For the craft today, we are going to paint a cat face using a common household utensil. What markings will your cat have?
