Suncatcher Lion

Time:20 min Difficulty:Easy  

Haven’t you ever wondered why a lion’s mane looks like rays of sun? It’s to catch the sunshine of course!

Here’s what you need:

  • Paper, foam or felt sheets
    Tip: Upcycle an old piece of paper or newspaper instead of using something new
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • A marker
  • Coloured tissue paper
  • Tape

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Cut out a large circle-shaped head from your paper, then remove a smaller circle inside. Next, cut two small circles from your paper.

Step 2: Use your head to trace a shape in your first tissue paper.

Step 3: Glue the edges and stick your tissue paper shape to that of your lion’s head.

Step 4: Next, cut out triangle–like mane strands in your tissue paper! You can either use one colour, or several!

Step 5: Glue the edge of these strands all around the head shape.

Step 6: Flip your lion’s head over and glue the two small circles on – he finally has ears!

Step 7: Lastly, use your marker to draw on some eyes, inner ears, a mouth, and nose.

Use some tape to stick your lion onto a window. Now his mane can catch the sun!
