DIRECTIONS:

  • First things first – fold your white cardstock paper in half. Straight up the center.
  • Next open it back up and squirt a few lines of yellow & orange paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock paper again.
  • Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “lion mane” print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
  • Now you are ready to open it back up to reveal the lion fur design underneath.
  • Next grab your tan cardstock paper and the scissors.
  • Cut out a lion head shape and glue it to the center of your paint covered paper piece.
  • Follow that up by gluing on the wiggle eyes and drawing on a smile.
  • Once finished, add any other embellishments you like.
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!

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!
