After reading lots of different stories about Greedy Cat by the fantastic New Zealand author Joy Cowley, we made our own Greedy Cats.
Greedy Cat Peg Craft
Of course our Greedy Cats are not all cat colours, mainly because I ran out of orange pipe-cleaners. But we think they are pretty cute, just like Greedy Cat.
Use marker-pens to colour in the pegs.
Put the pegs on Greedy Cat's body for his legs.
Colour Greedy Cat's face the same colour as his legs, and cut it out.
Draw on some stripes or zig-zags on Greedy Cat's body.
Use glue dots or sellotape to stick on Greedy Cat's tail on one side of his body, and his head on the other.
I hung our Greedy Cats in front of our large window for everyone to see (unfortunately I don't have a suitable windowsill for our Greedy Cats to stand on).

I love using pegs in the classroom - opening and closing pegs is a fine motor skill that builds up those important hand and wrist muscles to get them ready for writing.
I found nearly 100 wooden clothes-pegs for $2 at a local shop. Bargain!
