Recycled Lion Craft
One of the reasons I love this craft is that it doesn’t require a lot of materials. And, the materials that it does require are recycled from other crafts and other uses.
Who knew toilet paper roll crafts were going to become the go-to crafts this year?!
Christian Lion Craft
Another way that you could introduce this craft is as a Christian craft during Sunday School or Vacation Bible School.
The toilet paper roll lion can easily be turned into a “Daniel in the Lion’s Den Craft” where you share the story of Daniel and his unwavering faith, even in the midst of hungry lions.
