Lion craft for Kids

Looking for a lion craft for kids? This is a really easy arts and crafts project I did with my kid. He was asked to do a craft work by using recyclable materials for his preschool. His teacher gave us few themes and we chose the theme ‘jungle’ and decided to make this lion craft.

Then cut a circle using yellow colour paper. Cut another circle with red colour paper (it should be bigger than the yellow circle)
