Crafts, Kids and Cats
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is coming. So less playtime outside, and more creativity on the part of us parents to keep our children (and cats) amused inside. Here are some places that can help:
If you register (free) at Crayola.com, you can access their crafting ideas with cat themes. There were 51 such projects as of today.
National Geographic has a free printable animal coloring book, a kitty condo you can build together, and a very basic plant cat grass starting from seed, although I would get either cat grass or catnip seed from a pet store. Here is one type of kit you can buy, with all the components you need to get started.
This kit is a bit smaller.
National Wildlife Federation’s Kid Zone has projects like Kitty Pancakes (yummy!), a dual purpose hummingbird feeder (feed the hummingbirds and provide cat entertainment). You can sign up for a free parent email newsletter with activities and information, too.
Enature.com has fun quizzes to inspire learning about nature.
Enchanted Learning has cat-inspired crafts for young children.
On another note 
if you want to create and purchase high quality greeting cards from your photos, try Laughing Rhino.
Notice I am NOT including online games from these sites. I prefer hands-on creativity myself. National Wildlife Federation and National Geographic have such games.
