Lion Craft from Cupcake Liners

My 7-year old was the inspiration behind this craft when he asked me the other day if we could make a lion. My trusty cupcake liners came to mind when thinking about a lion’s mane and before we knew it we put together an adorable lion craft.

Supplies you will need:

  • 1 standard-sized yellow cupcake liner
  • 1 standard-sized orange cupcake liner
  • 1 yellow mini cupcake liner
  • small piece of yellow card stock paper or construction paper (for legs and tail)
  • small piece of brown card stock paper or construction paper (for nose and end of tail)
  • 2 googly eyes
  • black marker
  • scissors
  • glue stick
  • school glue
Directions:

1. Start by flattening out all of your cupcake liners. Cut small slits around the perimeter of the orange cupcake liner.
2. Use your glue stick to glue down your cupcake liners. Glue your large yellow one for the lion body first, then your orange liner next to the body and then the small yellow liner on top of the orange liner for the lion face.
3. Cut four small strips from your yellow paper for legs and one small strip for a tail. Glue them onto your lion. Also cut a small tear drop shape from your brown paper and glue it at the end of your tail.
4. Finish your lion by gluing on two googly eyes, a nose cut from your brown paper, and draw on a mouth and dot whiskers with your black marker.

Try coupling this craft with one of these children’s books about lions:

–How to Hide a Lion by Helen Stephens

–The Gentle Lion and the Little Owlet by Alice Shirley
