Directions:

  • First things first – print the lion head printable, listed above in the supply list, on white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per lion craft.
  • Next take your Tulip puffy paint and make a few squiggles of it, ALL around the lion head design, in the printable. You can ALWAYS add more so start off small first!
  • Now take your fork, which is your “paint brush, to create the “lion’s mane.” Just move the fork through the orange paint, over and over again, to make the spikey design on paper.
  • Add more paint if needed for the fork painting. You basically want every inch around his head to be covered in orange craft paint.
  • Finally – the last step of this fork painted lion craft is to shake some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for some dimension and extra sparkle.
  • When done decorating the paper, set it 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!
