March In Like A Lion

Created by Miss Susan

Materials needed:

Paper plate

Tissue Paper

Markers

Yarn

Construction Paper

Pencil

Scissors

Glue

Water

Make the craft, and take a digital image. If you have trouble with the images, ask for help!

Instructions:

1. Mix 2/3 amount of glue to 1/3 amount of water in a cup or bowl. Blend

2. Tear pieces of tissue paper into about 1-2 inch pieces. A variety of shapes is fine.
(I used brown, but yellow or orange would work well also.)

3. Dip the paper lightly into the glue mixture and lay it flat on the paper plate.

4. Continue to do this until your entire plate is covered.

5. Let dry.
(Drying could take quite a while depending on the amount of glue used. To hurry your craft along you could blow it dry using a hair dryer.)

6. When Lion is mostly dry you can start on your decorations. Be creative, you can draw, paint or cut and paste with construction paper his facial features.

7. You can then add hair to your lion. This can be done with marker, cut paper or yarn or ribbon.

8. If you would like to hang your lion up, save a piece of yarn for the back. Glue or tape one end, make a loop with the yarn and glue or tape the other end down next to the first. Let dry and your Lion is ready to welcome the month of March in.
