Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Lion - Toddler Friendly Craft Idea

Lion Head Craft Idea For Kids

I’ve been in full swing of getting fall crafts/recipes/posts out of the way on Glued To My Crafts, that I completely forgot to share this quick Paper Plate Lion craft idea I did with Lil Man a few weeks back.

This lion themed craft idea is super easy, affordable and totally do-able for any craft novice. Even those moms who “claim” they aren’t crafty, can set this up for their child to do. I titled this as a toddler craft, but really any age can do it {Shh…I made one too!}

Little crafters can either do this tissue paper lion craft for a story time theme or after a trip to the zoo. My son & I did this craft together, after watching the movie The Lion King. If you have some imagination, you could also turn this Lion Paper Plate Craft into a mask for a quick Halloween costume.

On that note… are you ready to make it happen in your home today? Then keep scrolling to check out the FULL tutorial below. I just know you are going to have so much ROAR-SOME fun creating it with your kiddo! Happy crafting, my friends!

Paper Plate Lion - Toddler Friendly Craft Idea

This toddler friendly lion art project idea is easy, affordable and totally do-able for any craft novice!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Yellow Craft Paint
  • Orange Tissue Paper
  • White School Glue
  • Large Wiggle Eyes
  • Scissors
  • Paint Brush
  • Baby Wipes
  • Black Marker
  • Orange Cardstock Paper
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First have your child paint their large paper plate completely yellow. They can use paint brushes or my son’s favorite – their hands.
  • While your child is painting, use scissors to cut the orange tissue paper into a handful of small squares.
  • Once the paper plate is done and covered, put a good amount of glue all around the rim of the plate.
  • Next have your child stick the tissue paper to the plate, along the glue line you just placed down. This will be the lion’s mane.
  • Now glue on the large wiggle eyes and draw a mouth in the center of the plate to give the lion life!
  • At this point in time you can also cut out some half circle ears from the orange cardstock and staple those on, as well.
  • When done creating, set aside it aside, to let it all dry completely.
  • Finally, display your newly created paper plate lion head piece proudly for ALL to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
