I’m planning to read Eric Carle’s From Head to Toe
for our playdate this week, and decided to look for a simple movable animal craft, to go along with it.
I found this movable lion craft and thought it looked simple enough for our toddlers (and mums) to work on.
Materials Needed
Movable Lion Craft Template White/Yellow/Orange A4-sized construction paper Two small googly eyes Two brads/split pins Double-sided tape Coloured pencils Printer
Instructions
1. Print the movable lion craft template on the white/yellow/orange A4-sized construction paper.
2. Colour the pieces of the lion.
3. Cut out the pieces of the lion.
4. Stick the googly eyes onto the lion’s face.
5. Use the brads to attach the lion’s mane and tail onto the lion’s body.
6. Use double-sided tape to attach the lion’s face to the lion’s mane, making sure that the chin covers the brad below. Tip: The double-sided tape should be placed on the top part of the lion’s face, so that chin area over the brad isn’t sticky.
