Spring In Like a Lion & Out Like a Lamb Craft Project for Kids

The old saying tells us that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.  We celebrated that idea and made this fun craft project to hang up all through the month.

What You Need to Make Your Lion and Lamb Craft:

• Two paper plates
• Marker/Crayons
• Brown, Yellow, and White Construction Paper
• Glue
• Cotton Balls
• Scissors

Lion Lamb Craft Supplies

To make your lion’s mane, cut yellow and brown construction paper into short strips. Ours are about 1″ by 4″.

Draw a lion’s face onto your paper plate. Obviously, I’m no artist, but a 3-year-old doesn’t seem to mind!

Alternate yellow and brown strips of construction paper as you glue them around the edge of your paper plate to make the lion’s mane.  (I feel better letting the little one use a glue stick than white glue.)

Your lamb will also need a face, so use the marker to draw it onto the other paper plate.

Cut two ears out of your white construction paper. They should be about 4″ tall. Glue them to the top, above and to the side of the lamb’s eyes.

Glue some cotton balls between the ears to make your March lamb nice and wooly.
