Start making your lion mask by drawing out the shape you can see in the photo above onto the back of your paper plate.

Cut out the shape carefully and retain it to make your lion mask ears.

Paint the front of both pieces of paper plate whatever colour you want your lion. Yellow, orange or brown work really well.

Add on some brown detail for the nose and ears.

On card (not paper as it’s too floppy) print out lots of handprints to make the lion’s mane. You can use all one colour paint or a mixture.

To make your lion mask’s whiskers take three yellow straws and tape them together in a row on the short side just below the bendy section.

Fan out the straw lengths and trim both ends to a whisker size.

Repeat to make a set of whiskers for both sides of your lion mask.

Tape your straw whiskers onto the back of your lion mask’s nose.

If you want to you can add some extra details like nostrils onto the front of your lion’s nose with a marker pen.

Snip off the excess card from your lion’s ears and glue them into place. This makes a fantastic lioness mask.

If you want to make a male lion mask simply cut out your handprints and glue them all around the paper plate. You can use one colour or a mix like the photo below.

Children can play with their paper plate lion mask by holding it in front of their face or you could make a hole in either side and tie on a section of elastic.

Why not become a pride of lions by making a handprint and paper plate lion mask for every member of the family?
