Big Cats!
ROARRR! PURRR! GROWL! Is your big cat on the prowl for prey—or ready to lazily soak up the sun?
1. Use different colors to make any kind of Big Cat. Here’s how to make a lion. Decorate a large paper plate with Crayola® Multicultural and regular crayons. Overlap golds, yellows, and browns to create a realistic lion’s coat.
2. Decorate a small paper plate to look like a lion’s head. Show a snout, mouth, and eyes.
3. Tear paper into triangles for ears. Color the inside of each ear a darker color. Attach the ears to the smaller plate with Crayola School Glue. Glue the head to the body.
4. Tear legs and a tail from construction paper. Decorate and glue them to the cat. Glue on precut yarn for a furry lion’s mane. Air-dry the glue.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
