Paper crafts are a timeless option for kids. They encourage dramatic play, and they are perfect for on the go play. You can take them anywhere, and if they are left behind? No worries! You can make another anytime. Just print a few extra templates to have on hand, or better yet, pin this idea for later, just in case you want to revisit it.

This lion craft will pair well with any of my Disney Princess paper doll crafts. Pair it with my paper squirrel craft for an instant animal play session.
