Use two different shades of yellow-colored craft paper and orange paper for the lion craft. Trace the lion's mane and tail tip pattern on orange paper, the tail, head, and body patterns on yellow paper, and the 2 leg patterns on the other shade of yellow paper. Trace the inner ear cutouts on light pink colored craft paper. Cut out the traced patterns nicely.
Stick the inner ear cutouts in the middle of the ear parts attached to the head pattern. Stick the tail tip cutout on either side of the tail cutout and stick the leg cutouts near the bottom side of the body cutout.
Stick the head pattern in the middle of the mane cutout. Stick the tail pattern on either side of the body pattern, keeping the tail tip towards the top.
Stick the head pattern on the top side of the body pattern.
Use a gel pen to draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and whiskers of the papercraft lion. If you have googly eyes, add those, and then draw in the nose and mouth.
Viola, you have the cutest lion craft preschool-made.
