T is for Tiger Craft Directions

Before starting this craft with kids, you will want to cut out two white teeth and two orange ears for each tiger you will be making. You might also want to draw the outline of the tiger’s strips onto the bags, letting the kids color them in later.

The day of the craft, show the kids how to glue the ears and teeth in place. Show them how to color red inside the bag flap to make the tiger puppet’s mouth. Let the kids color in the tiger’s stripes, and their tiger puppets are ready to go!

This simple craft is ideal for making when you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a craft, but you still want something fun to do with the kids to solidify the lesson currently being taught. While kids are coloring in the stripes, have them think of other things that start with the letter T.

She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
