100 Days Of School Project

There are some school projects that are more fun than 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.”

Pete The Cat 100 Days of School Project Details

My husband cut out a wooden Pete the Cat and my daughter helped with painting him, gluing 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?
