Directions on how to make a Paper Plate Lion:
Step 1.
Paint the entire paper plate yellow.
Step 2.
Paint a brown ring around the outside of the paper plate leaving the inner portion of the paper plate yellow.
Step 3.
Draw a heart shape on your pink construction paper and cut it out. This will make the lion’s nose.

Use a pencil to sketch out the mouth of the lion. Once you are happy with its mouth go over the lines with a thin paint brush and black paint.

When all of the paint is dry, snip the brown ring with scissors. Ruffle and bend the edges to create a 3D effect for the lion’s mane.
