There are some school projects that are more fun that others. Last year, my daughter started kindergarten and was introduced to the Pete the Cat character and books. He became an instant hit at our house and we’ve collected a lot of his books since. For the 100th day of school she had to do a project with 100 of something. I wanted to try and do something different with her and we came up with “Pete the Cat’s 100 Groovy Buttons.”
My husband cut out a wooden Pete and my daughter helped with painting him, glueing on the whiskers and of course counting the buttons.
I purchased two bags of Buttons at JoAnn’s Crafts and there were 120 buttons total that she counted through. She then glued the buttons onto Pete and drew on his belly button.
We used sticky yellow felt for his shirt to make the front pieces stay on.
We added a hinge and tail so that he would stand up also.
The Completed Project
It turned out great and my daughter had a lot of fun doing it!
Does your child’s class have a project for the 100th day of school?
