First things first - grab our free lion face printable, listed above in the supply list.
Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE printable per lion craft. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use please.
Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in the lion face however you like. I highly encourage shades of pink, purple or red for the Valentine's Day theme.
When done coloring in the printable, use the scissors to trim out the lion head.
Discard the leftover cardstock paper and set aside the paper piece lion head till later.
Now grab a single sheet of dark colored cardstock and your various pieces of chalk.
Make several lines going outward from the center of the paper {see our image for example} to make the lion's mane. Add as many lines and colors that you like. You want it to be nice and "fluffy" though.
Use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
When done with the chalk, go ahead and grab your lion head cutout & glue stick.
Glue the lion head to the center of your chalk art design you just made.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {like some small heart stickers and pretty bow on the head!}
Then display proudly for all to see!
Notes
Make It Your Own:Instead of printing the free lion face file on white cardstock, swap it out for pink, red or purple colored paper and take out the "coloring in" step listed above.Did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. Repeat, over and over, again and let the construction paper dry completely before adhering the lion head to the center.What if you don't have a printer? No worries! You can always hand-draw something on paper and go from there. This will really open up those creative juices and I highly encourage it!
