The Mom I Want to Be

Felines, ever above mere humans in the great chain of being, have a day unto themselves to celebrate the “mewness” of a new time.

It’s easy for your child to make a cute and cuddly paper kitten in the blink of eye. Provide your child with a picture of a kitten from a magazine or coloring book, and then let him or her glue on “fur” using cotton balls, pom-poms, fleece, or any fuzzy material. Children are fascinated by the way cats purr. When your little one asks you how kitties do that, you can tell him or her that the cat doesn’t make the sound with its voice. The sound is made by the vibration of the larynx resonating down to the windpipe and into the diaphragm.
