“Intelligence entails a strong mind, but genius entails a heart of a lion in tune with a strong mind.” – Criss Jami (Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality)
How about a craft featuring the king of the jungle? 🙂 Making your friendly lion will involve fun painting techniqes and also working with fabric.Â
Duration: 45 min- 1 hour
Materials:Â
– 1 large paper plate
– Watercolour or acrylic paint
– Black Marker
– Cardboard PaperÂ
– Fabric (felt, cloth, something furry!)
– Construction paper (orange and yellow)
– Q-tips
– White glue
In this project, I gave each student a pre-cut lion body which was made out of cardboard paper. This way, the lion head will have more support when put together and students can easily decorate the body with construction paper or fabric of their choice. My favourite part about this craft is that children can use Q-tips and paint their own decorations (dots or patterns) on the lion’s head.Â
Here are some vibrant examples!
