About This Project

A 20–30 minutes craft for ages 3–7, using supplies you likely already have — Cotton Balls, Markers, and Paper.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Easy March Craft: Lion to Lamb

    "Let's stick together and make this one!"

    Step 1: Choose a Lion Printable

    May need grown-up help
    Pick a lion from the printables. You can choose one to color or a pre-colored one. Print it on cardstock if you have it. If you don't have a printer, draw a lion on light-colored paper. This printable is provided for personal and educational use with permission from our partner, In The Bag Kid's Crafts.

    Step 2: Color the Lion

    If you picked a lion that needs color, use your crayons or markers to color it in.

    Step 3: Make a Lamb

    Make your lion look like a lamb. Pull the cotton balls to make them fluffy. Use the glue stick to put cotton all over the lion's body and head. Now it looks like a lion dressed as a sheep!
