The Lion Card Craft Supplies:

* Yellow Cardstock Paper
* Orange Craft Yarn
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue
* Large Wiggle Eyes – two per lion card
* Black Marker

The Even Easier Directions:

* First fold your yellow cardstock in half to make a card. This card can be ANY size or shape you like!
* Next up – go ahead and grab your wiggle eyes, glue and black marker.
* Glue on the wiggle eyes to the center of the folded cardstock card and draw on a mouth underneath with the black marker.
* Next grab the orange yarn. Cut several strands from it.
* Have children draw a circle of glue around the wiggle eyes/drawn on mouth and lay the yarn on top, until they have a look of a lion’s mane.
* Repeat until you have the look you like.
* To finish off the Yarn Lion Mane Card – have children write “I Love You and I’m not LION” or “I’m wild about you” underneath their circular yarn design.
* Then set aside to let it dry completely before gifting away!
