Roarsome Lion Father's Day Card

A simple fork-painted lion that turns into a Father's Day card. Bright, fast, and forgiving for little hands.

🧒 Ages 3-5, 6-8⏱ 25 min🐾 Animals

How to do it

  1. 1

    Dip a fork in orange and red paint, then press it around the card to fan out a lion's mane.

  2. 2

    Stamp a yellow paint circle in the center of the mane for the lion's face.

  3. 3

    Glue on small black paper eyes and a nose, then draw whisker lines with a black marker.

  4. 4

    Write "Daddy, you are roarsome!" beside the lion.

Tips & extensions

Use cardstock instead of regular paper so the paint doesn't warp the card.
