PAIR OUR LION CRAFT WITH —> Bright & Colorful Chalk Art Lion Mane – Kid Craft Idea

Paper Plate & Yarn Lion Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate – one per lion craft
* Single Handle Hole Punch
* Orange Craft Yarn
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Large Wiggle Eyes – two per lion craft
* School Glue

The Simple Directions:

* First have children paint their paper plate completely yellow.
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, go ahead and hole punch holes {leaving a mall section of space between each} all around the rim of their paper plate. Set aside.
* Now grab your yarn and cut THREE 5″ inch strands of yarn per hole punch on the paper plate.
* Go ahead and thread/tie three stands together in each hole punched hole. This will be the lion’s mane. At this point in time you can also trim down the hair if you like {or add more yarn if desired!}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Yarn Lion, have children draw/glue on eyes and nose to give the lion life.
* You can also add other embellishments they see fit at this point in time.
* When done decorating the paper plate, display it proudly for all to see!!!
