To make a cardboard roll cat family play set of your own, you will need:

Cut the Cardboard Roll

Begin by cutting each cardboard roll in to sections. I like to vary the heights on these to make a Mama Cat, Papa Cat, and some kittens.

Shape It Up

Smooch the top of each cardboard roll section to form the cat ears.

Paint it Up

Cover each cardboard roll section with a layer of paint and allow it to dry completely.

Decorate!

Use gluestick to attach a piece of contrasting scrapbook paper for the belly of each cat. Use a black marker to draw eyes, a nose, mouth, and whiskers. So cute!!
