Toilet Paper Roll Lion Craft
We love this lion paper roll craft because it only requires colored paper and a few other supplies! You can also swap out the googly eyes and pom pom nose and draw them on yourself.
Pair this activity with our matching lion handprint card.
Supplies Needed To Make a Paper Roll Lion
– Colored cardstock – we used yellow and orange
– Black Marker
– Googly Eyes
– Small Black Pom Pom, 2 Medium Orange Pom Poms
– Paper Roll
– Glue – Regular glue or a glue stick. I like to use a glue stick for this project since it’s less messy. Use a hot glue gun (adults to help) or a glue adhesive dot for the pom poms and googly eyes.
