Tiger Characteristics
Tigers are daring and brave, and will fight any battle that they believe in, leading others along with them with their powerful personalities and forceful sense of purpose. Despite that, they can be sensitive and emotional and are easily hurt, especially if they feel that their friends or family have let them down. The tiger likes a challenge, and also likes to attack something new every so often - in fact they can be a little flighty at times! Tigers have a very strong sense of injustice and will speak out if they think something is unfair.

More Year of the Tiger Ideas
A professional can make painting a tiger face look very difficult and detailed, but it needn't be tricky. This little boy looks just like a tiger and only 3 fact paints have been used: white around the eyes and mouth, orange to emphasise the fact, and black for the details. Fun!
Why not have a go at a Year of the Tiger paper cut? We used orange paper for the paper cut and then placed it against black card to show off the details. We have a template for this tiger paper cut craft here.
