Introducing the World’s Most Interesting Breed of Lions!
Introducing the world's most "interesting" lions!
Today’s amazing jungle craft was creating Paper Plate Lions. These homely creatures went well with today’s Story Circle topic, lions and tigers. The kids had a blast making them and the supplies were very basic. Alex wanted to join in as well… and took 1 1/2 hours making a very intricate mane. French time and phonics disappeared today. At least she had fun, right?
Can you guess whose lion is whose? The kids are very proud of their lions and can’t wait to show dad when he comes home from work.
Here’s what you need to make your own creations:
