Roarin’ Cupcake Liner Lion Craft for Kids

My toddler loves the book Goodnight, Gorilla and one of his favorite animals is a lion.  Today, he wanted make a “Roar”  (a.k.a Lion craft for kids.)  So, we created a Cupcake Liner Lion Craft.

Supplies To Make A Cupcake Liner Lion Craft:

• Small Paper Plate
• Cupcake Liners
• Glue
• Yellow Card Stock or Construction Paper
• Scissors
• Googly Eyes
• Black Pom Pom
• Black Marker

Directions To Make A Cupcake Liner Lion Craft: 

1. Fold each cupcake liner in half and then fold it in half again.
2. Glue the cupcake liners around the edge of the paper plate.  We used two rows of cupcake liners to add more texture and dimension to the lion.
3. Draw and cut out a circle with a diameter of about 4 inches from the yellow card stock or construction paper.  We traced a drinking glass to create the right size shape.
4. Glue the circle on the center of the paper plate so it covers the folded edge of the cupcake liners.
5. Cut two small triangles that are about 1 inch long out of the yellow card stock and glue them at the top of the circle for the lion’s ears.
6. Glue a black pom pom in the center of the circle of the lion’s nose.
7. Glue the two google eyes on the circle.
8. Draw a “w” shape for the lion’s mouth with the black marker.
9. Draw a “v” shape on each side of the pom pom for the whiskers.

Your children will love using your leftover cupcake liners to create this adorable and easy-to-make Cupcake Liner Lion Craft.
