When coming up with a list of animals for our African Savannah unit, the lion was at the top of our list. In the past, we have made a cartoon lion craft and a paper plate lion mask, but this is the first realistic version. We decided to go for the whole family this time — the male, female, and cubs. I made the printable so that you only have to open one PDF file – it’s all together. Just make sure you have 3 pieces of cardstock when you go to print. Enjoy!
