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.

1. Cut out the inner circle of the paper plate.

3. 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.

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!
