March is here and the storm outside right now is confirming the age-old saying, “March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb.” I love finding easy to make activities that celebrate the new month or season to make with my kids. There are a few March kids crafts that I have in mind but I thought I would start with this fun paper plate activity. This adorable March lion and lamb craft is perfect to make with preschoolers and younger kids. It is double-sided with a lion on one side and the lamb on the other and would make a cute puppet for a play.

MY LATEST VIDEOS- Cut out the inner circle of the paper plate.

- Glue the orange strips around the outer edge of the paper plate, flip it over and glue the white strips onto that side’s outer edge.
- Cut the shape of a lamb’s head from the black paper and a round yellow circle for the lion face.
- Glue them into place with the eyes, draw a face on the lion.
- Attach the craft stick with glue. Let dry.
In addition to a puppet you could also do a fun activity with your kids where every day in March you can decide what the weather is like, either like a lamb or a lion and fill out this graph that I found from DLTK. This can spark educational conversations about weather and the science behind it. I love sneaking in some education whenever I can even with fun March kids crafts!
