Steps

  • Step 1

    Use different colours to make any kind of Big Cat. Here's how to make a lion. Decorate a large paper plate with Crayola® crayons. Overlap golds, yellows, and browns to create a realistic lion's coat.

  • Step 2

    Decorate a small paper plate to look like a lion's head. Show a nose, mouth, and eyes.

  • Step 3

    Tear paper into triangles for ears. Colour the inside of each ear a darker colour. Attach the ears to the smaller plate with glue, and glue the head to the body.

  • Step 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.
