We’ve been on a roll with the Valentine’s Day themed kid crafts around here and today I’m adding another EASY one to the Glued To My Crafts archives.

This Paper Plate Lion Kid Craft is super easy, inexpensive & fun for kids of all ages {just how we like it around here!}

So what are you waiting for? The full step-by-step tutorial can be found below. Just grab your supplies and get to work! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Valentine Lion Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Tan Tissue Paper
* School Glue
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Paper Doily {Dollar Tree}
* Hand-Held Stapler
* Black Marker
* Brown/Red Cardstock
* Large Wiggle Eyes
optional – glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First cut your tan tissue paper into small squares —- this is a great opportunity for kids to help!
* Next put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate. Have children place the tissue paper squares on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While children are working on that – cut/create the other lion face embellishments. Think ears, nose etc and maybe even a crown. Glue those pieces to the paper doily, along with wiggle eyes and draw on whiskers/a mouth with a black marker.
* To finish the Paper Plate Valentine Lion craft – glue the paper doily to the center of the plate, as well as gluing on the cardstock ears. Then display proudly!
