Lion Party Favour Pouch

We ain’t lion when we say the kids will love these Favour Pouches at the party. Create these sunny lion pouches with your kids. These are a perfect craft for lolly bags for kids’ parties.

What You Need

  • Brown paper bags
  • Scissors
  • Assorted art board paper
  • Pencil
  • Sponge brush
  • Paint brushes
  • Acrylic paints (yellow, pink, white and black)
  • Crepe paper cut into strips (yellow, orange and pink)
  • Small hole puncher
  • Favourite choice of small lollies

Method

Draw a circle template using cardboard and then trace the circle onto a brown paper bag twice. Cut out your circles and paint one circle yellow using the sponge brush.

Paint the rest of the lion’s face with the paint brushes: Paint a pink triangle in the centre of your circle and then paint the eyes and nose with black paint. Paint the mouth with white paint and add black spots. Mix a small amount of pink paint into the white to make pastel pink, and paint the cheeks onto your lion’s face.

After the paint has dried, place the two circles together and punch holes near the edges using the hole puncher. Keep holding the circles together and alternate the three different colours of crepe paper by tying them to create the lion’s mane. Leave some mane so you can fill the pouch with your choice of lollies. Tie the rest of your lion’s mane to seal all the lollies inside.

Pom Pom Turtles

Pom Pom Turtles

Shell-ebrate summer with this turtley awesome craft!

What You Need

  • Medium to thick wool in your choice of colour for the shell
  • Assorted art board paper
  • White paper or googly eyes
  • Felt tip pens
  • Scissors
  • Pom Pom Maker or a piece of cardboard
  • Glue

Method

Draw the shape of your turtle and cut your turtle shape out and cut small slits on both sides of the turtle’s body using your colour art board paper. Use felt tip pens to decorate your turtle.

Using the white paper, draw your turtle’s eyes and cut them out. If you’re using googly eyes you can skip this step. Glue the eyes onto your turtle’s face.

To make a Pom Pom Maker, use a piece of cardboard and cut out a thick line as shown in the picture.

Using your Pom Pom Maker, wrap your wool around until you have a nice bundle of it. Tie around the centre and slide the bundle of wool off your Pom Pom maker. Tie the centre again as tight as you can.

Attach your pom pom to the base of your turtle by sliding the wool into the side slits and then tying into a knot. With the scissors, tidy up your turtle’s shell by cutting each loop in the middle, giving it a trim and shaping it how you like it.
