Letter L Craft: Lion
Lions are fascinating for kids of all ages. Something about the mighty lion has fascinated humans for generations. This fun lion toilet roll craft is easy to make and makes the perfect accompaniment to preschoolers and kindergarten kids who are studying the letter L. You can make this lion a boy lion by adding a mane, or you can leave the mane off and add ears and it’s a girl lion! Kids will love how they can make this craft almost entirely on their own, and the fringe mane is a fun detail that kids will love playing with. You can also use this lion craft when studying lions, zoo animals, African animals, or just for fun any time of year!
I also have a few great books that are fun to read when teaching the letter L sound. Have fun!
