Chinese Lion Puppet
With its concertina body, the kids can make this Chinese lion puppet dance up
and down just like it's doing a real Lion Dance.
You will need:
coloured card
Brightly coloured tissue paper scraps
Construction paper
2 popsicle (lolly) sticks
Glue
Instructions:
To make the body:
Cut the construction paper into strips about 1inch wide. Glue two different
colour strips together at right angles. Fold one strip over the other, then
repeat with the other strip, forming a concertina. Continue until you reach the
end of the strips. Glue the ends together and trim off any excess.
To make the head and tail:
Cut two oval shapes from card. Cut a mane, eyes, nose, mouth and other
decorations from tissue paper. Glue these to the head and tail.
To assemble your puppet:
Glue one of the popsicle sticks to the tail and glue the body on top. Glue the
other popsicle stick to the back of the head and glue these to other end of the
body.
Now make your Lion dance!
