L Is for Lion Craft

The king of the jungle is roaring his way into your ABC Craft lineup this week! But don’t worry, this lion is really just a big pussycat. His roar is much bigger than his bite!

Here’s What You’ll Need

• 2 sheets of printer paper
• Card stock (we used yellow, orange, and dark blue)
• L Is for Lion Craft templates
• 2 “googly” eyes
• Glue stick
• Pencil and marker
• Scissors

Instructions for Assembling Your Letter L Craft

1. Print the L Is for Lion Craft templates.
2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter L and the lion pieces onto card stock.
3. Cut out the letter L and the lion pieces.
4. Glue the letter L and the lion’s head, feet, and tail onto a full sheet of card stock (we used dark blue, but you can use any color you like) to form a lion.
5. Affix two googly eyes to the lion’s head.
6. Use a black marker to draw the lion’s nose and mouth details.

Learning with Your Letter L Craft
