Sunday School Craft - Daniel in the Lion's Den Lion Paper Bag Puppet

I realized that most of my Sunday School crafts only work if you have a printer, so I decided to do one that you could do completely free-hand.

You will need: Paper lunch bags, orange and yellow tissue or construction paper, black marker, and crayons.

I did print out the verse and glue that at the bottom, but it's optional. If you want it, I have the template at the end.

First, I drew a lion face on the bag so that it's mouth was split at the fold as you can see below.

Then, I opened the folded part and drew an oval with teeth and a tongue.

Then, I took one sheet of yellow and orange tissue paper.

I folded them up.

Then, I cut them like this: In threes with the middle part twice as long as the outside pieces. (This is because the outside pieces are folded. This will make all three sections the same width.)

Then, I stacked the three sections and cut them into strips.

Then, I started gluing the pieces around the lion's head.

That's it! Now you can make the lion shut his mouth like the verse says!
