Get Creative: Lions

Wednesday 7th May 2014

Follow these instructions from Vicki Brownlee, 5th Hull, for how to make Lions.

Equipment

• Paper Plates
• Sugar Paper (orange, yellow & brown)
• Colouring Pens/Pencils
• Glue / Pritt Stick
• Blunt knife

Prepare first!

Cut out strips from the coloured sugar paper ready for the children to curl and stick on.

Instructions

1. Curl the sugar paper, using a blunt knife or around a pen or similar object.
2. Stick the curled sugar paper around the edge of the paper plate, either using one colour or multiple colours. Go around the whole plate and ideally have 2 or 3 layers.
3. Using colouring pens/pencils draw the lions face in the middle of the plate.

You could make this a lion’s mask by cutting holes for eyes, mouth and nose and adding elastic.

This craft could link well with the bible stories of Samson and the Lion (Judges 14) or Daniel and the Lion (Daniel 6).
