Lion Storytime

This week's storytime theme was all about lions.  We read Wildred the Lion by Syd Hoff and Silly Suzy Goose by Petr Horacek.

Our lion craft for today involved painting a mane on a picture of a lion's head using forks.

Here is our mane-less lion head

Here he is with a mane

We used plastic forks instead of regular paint brushes to get the kind of furry effect needed to make a lion's mane.  All you do is dip the fork in the paint and drag it across the page.  They turned out pretty cool and were a fun alternative to a regular paintbrush.
