Step 1:

Use the PDF templates to cut out the pieces for the Lion Craft with Toilet Paper Roll.

Step 2:

Now, follow the numbers on the instructions and the numbers on the templates to glue the pieces together. Keep the picture of the completed craft for reference!

First glue the face inside the lion’s mane (Piece number: 1 and 2)

Stick the paws onto the feet. (piece number 3 and 5 and 6)

And then, glue the dock with the tail (number 7 and 8).

Step 3:

Draw or glue on some eyes on the lion’s head and then use marker pens to draw the nose and smile on the lion. If you want 3D you can always use googly eyes.

Step 4:

Cut out a yellow craft paper the same height and circumference of the tissue paper roll.

Then wrap/roll it around the tissue paper roll and using glue to hold it in place.

Step 5:

Take “piece number: 9” from the template and glue it on the bottom side of the toilet paper roll. This will be the lion’s belly.

Step 6:

Now take both feet of the lion and glue them on the 2 sides of the lion’s belly.

Step 7:

The next stage is to glue the lion’s head on the top side of the toilet paper roll.

Step 8:

Finish it off by glueing the tail on the back.

I love toilet paper roll animal crafts for kids because they are tons of fun, simple to do and environmentally friendly but can you think of how to make a lion using other craft materials. Could you do a lion craft with a paper plate? You could even make a lion face from popsicle sticks if you were really creative. How about using your own handprint? 

You can even make a lion and lamb Christmas ornament!

Lion crafts will be popular with boys and girls!! I think I will name my toilet Paper roll Lion Leo. How about you? What will you call yours?

Maybe you might want to name him something from the hugely popular movie ‘The Lion King’. How about Simba?! He was the popular Prince in that movie. This movie can gives lots of inspiration on children’s craft ideas for lions.
