Paper Plate Lion

I was looking at pictures on my camera the other day and realized that I had not shared this fun craft that we did over the summer. This lion was really fun to make and Liv got to try out a lot different skills to make him.

What You Will Need

Paper Plate
Yellow Paint
Construction Paper
Googly Eyes
Paint Brush
Glue
Scissors
Black Marker

Directions

1. Paint the paper plate just like so....


2. While your toddler is painting draw horizontal lines onto pieces of construction paper. These lines will act as a guide for your toddler while they cut.  (I cut my sheets vertically before drawing the lines...I wanted the strips to be a little shorter).


3. Cut away!


4. Glue strips of paper onto the back of the paper plate.


5. Glue on Googly Eyes and draw on a mouth. We got creative and used a scrap piece of construction paper for the mouth.


Project complete! This lion decorated the front of our fridge for a few short days. Unfortunately little brother got ahold of him and tore him apart. See both kiddos had fun with this project :)
