Materials

  • Colored card stock in orange, pink, golden yellow, cream and brown
  • Glue stick this one works best for heavy paper
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Orange marker
  • Lion card template

Instructions

  • Download the lion card template, print, and cut out the pieces.
  • If you're turning this lion craft into a card, then fold the orange paper in half along the top of the lion's mane. Cut out the mane, leaving the top, flat part of it uncut. This is the card fold line.
  • Assemble the lion's face by gluing the muzzle onto the bottom of the lion's face.
  • Take the brown nose and glue it to the top of the muzzle.
  • Place the pink cheeks on either side of the muzzle and glue into place.
  • Put the assembled lion's face in the middle of the lion's mane and use the pencil to draw hair lines extending outward from the lion's face.
  • Remove the face and draw over the pencil marks with the orange marker.
  • Glue the entire assembled lion's face in the center of the mane.
  • Glue the outer ear above the head and the inner ear inside that piece. Repeat for each side.
  • Open up the card and write a special message!
