A paper bowl becomes a friendly lion or a sweet lamb with this March craft! To make a lion, paint the outside of a paper bowl yellow. Allow time for the paint to dry. Glue construction paper ears to the bowl and use a black marker to add facial features. Next, glue brown, yellow, and orange tissue paper strips along the outer edge of the bowl to resemble a mane.
To make a lamb, use a black marker to draw facial features on the outside of a white paper bowl. Glue construction paper ears to the bowl. Then glue cotton balls around the outer edge to resemble wool.

activity detail
Your kids will have a lot of fun celebrating spring with this cute craft. Begin by gluing cotton balls all over a cardboard toilet paper tube. Next, poke four holes in what will become the bottom of the cotton ball-covered lamb — two towards the front and two towards the back. These are the holes for the legs. Thread two black pipe cleaners through the holes (in one hole and out the other) to make legs. You now have a lamb body. Cut out a circle of white felt for the face, and glue on googly eyes. Glue this onto one end of the lamb’s body. Cover the back end of the body with cotton balls.
