Little Papercraft Lion
Lions are incredible creatures that live in the grasslands and savannas of Africa and with this project, your kids can design their very own papercraft lion.
Did you know that lions are the only cats that live in big groups called prides? Each lion has a special roar that can be heard from miles away. Lions are famous for their majestic manes.
While the males have impressive manes, it’s the lionesses who do most of the hunting for the pride. They work together as a team to bring down big prey. Lions are amazing creatures!
