Download the free tiger template, print and cut out the pieces.

Paint the white paper plate in a thin coat of orange paint. Let dry completely before you move on.

Decide whether you want the tiger's ears to be made out of a paper plate or card stock. If you'll be making them out of the paper plate, paint a second plate orange.

Glue the eyes onto the orange paper plate, just a few inches below the top of the plate.

Place the muzzle area just below the eyes, like in the pictures. Glue in place.

Position the tiger's stripes around the paper plate. Group them in 3's and glue them above the eyes and on both sides of the face. Cut off any of the black paper the extends past the edge of the paper plate.

Trace the tiger's ears on the second paper plate (or on the orange cardstock) and cut out. Glue the pink inner ear onto the orange outer ears.

Use double-sided tape or loop a piece of regular tape and place on the bottom of the tiger's ears. Tape to the back of the paper plate, just outside the top stripes.
