Laughing Lion Puppet
Hunt in the library for kids' books about lions. Then create this mane character to act out stories or go on safari.
1. Fold a paper lunch bag flat so the bottom faces out at the top. With Crayola® Twistables, draw the smiling face of lion on the bottom.
2. Color in the rest of the lion's body.
3. If your lion is an adult male, use Crayola School Glue to attach brown, black, or yellow yarn or craft fur for its mane. Use shorter yarn or fur for the female's furry coat. Dry.
4. Place your hand inside the bag. To make the lion's mouth roar, open and close your hand. You add the sound effects!
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.
