Valentine Lion Haircut Activity

“You are my MANE squeeze” is a Valentine-themed cutting activity that your toddlers will surely enjoy.

If you have a toddler who’s obsessed with cutting, this activity is guaranteed to be a favorite. Ever since my son mastered the art of holding and using scissors, he’s been requesting paper-cutting sessions quite frequently.

One popular cutting activity for kids is the lion’s haircut, and there are two reasons why it’s a hit: First, the lion looks absolutely adorable, and second, it offers an extended cutting experience due to the lion’s mane typically consisting of several strips of paper.

How to set up a Valentine Lion haircut activity:

Materials needed:

  • Recycled cardboard
  • Pink paper
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Glue
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Paper cutter
  • Pencil

Instructions:

  • Draw and cut out a lion’s head from the cardboard.
  • Paint a lion’s face on the cardboard head.
  • Glue a pair of googly eyes to the face.
  • Cut strips of pink paper using the paper cutter.
  • Arrange the strips of paper around the lion’s head and glue them from behind.
  • Draw lines on the strips of paper to create a heart shape.

How to play:

  • Encourage your kids to cut along the lines on the paper strips.

My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
