Halloween Cats with Xyron. Many, many years ago I was a pre-k teacher, and one of my favorite books thread the kids was Slinky Malinki. I can still recite most of the book to this day. My kids love the book as well, and we have a few dogeared copies as well as a newer copy I picked up to keep fresh.

When I saw the cute black cat lollipops from Oriental Trading Company, I immediately thought of Slinky Malinki and how great these lollipops would have been for my pre-k kiddos. Since my mom and sister, and several friends still tach pre-k, I decided to order some of those cuties, and make a cute little black cat container to hold them in!

Supplies:

Empty can {I use a safety can opener to remove the lids so they won’t cut any little hands}

Black Spray Paint

Craft Foam

Cricut {To cut the craft foam eyes and nose}

Xyron Sticker Maker

Ribbon

Black cat lollipops

Optional- DecoArt Glo It Paint

Begin by spray painting a clean can black. {I used primer too} While the can dries, use your Cricut to cut craft foam eyes and a nose. {You can cut out black ears too, but, I decided I didn’t care for them} I ran the foam through my Xyron Sticker Maker and stuck them on the can.

Once they were on the can, I painted the eyes with DecoArt Glow in the Dark Paint, and added a black dot in the middle of the eye to mimic the lollipops.
