Lions are known as kings of the jungle, and judging by their impressive looks, they deserve the title. The mane of a male lion is commendable. You can make some pretty cool leaf lion crafts if you really want to brag and can pluck the leaves.
This surprised lion model is a quick, no-frills activity you can do with your kids in class or at home.
You can use it as a craft project or art idea for kids to draw their own lion. Even the templates can be expanded into arts and crafts projects where kids can design their own backgrounds. Draw elements of the jungle or have them draw a frame you think would fit the lion.

How to make a printable paper toy with a big mouth and a big mouth
What you need:
- Printable template (obtained at the end of the step-by-step tutorial)
- Painting supplies – markers, pens, pencils or paints
- Paper – Thick print paper is best.
step-by-step instructions
Print one of our lion models. Both are perfect for home use and you can do two craft projects on one small piece of paper, so the smaller one is perfect for classroom use (keep saving).
If your kids need to paint with markers or paints, they will need thicker print media. On the other hand, if you are using crayons or colored pencils, you can use normal photo paper. Heavy print paper is also durable, but may be a little more difficult to fold for younger children.
After completing the template, have the children color the lion. You can leave the background blank or design a background suitable for a lion (eg savannah or jungle).
Do you feel very stupid? You can also draw something on the lion’s mouth.
When your child is happy with how the big-mouthed surprise lion has been colored, it’s time to start folding.
Fold along the straight line of the upper lip – fold to fit the width of the paper. Create neat, clean folds.
The following trick might seem a bit tricky, but it’s really easy. Grab the edge crease of the first crease and bring the crease back to the lower lip line. Align and press on paper. This creates wrinkles in the mouth.
Perfect! I made an amazing big mouth lion printable paper toy!
It’s time to play.

How to Make a Surprise Big Mouth Lion Printable Paper Toy
What do you need:
our printable template (you can get it at the end of the step by step tutorial)
coloring supplies – markers, pens, pencils or paints
paper – heavier print paper is optimal
Step by step tutorial
Print one of our lion models. Both are perfect for home use, the smaller one is perfect for classroom use as one sheet of paper makes two craft projects (staying frugal).
If your kids need to color with markers or paint, thicker printing paper is a must. On the other hand, if they use crayons or coloring pens, using regular printing paper is fine. Thicker print paper is also more durable, but can make folding a little trickier for young children.
Once you have the template ready, have the children color the lion. They can leave the background blank or they can design a suitable background for a lion – Savannah or Jungle for example.
Are you feeling super silly? You can even draw something inside the lion’s mouth.
When your kids are happy with how they’ve colored their big mouth surprise lion, it’s time to start folding.
Fold along the straight line of the upper lip – fold across the width of your paper. Make neat, clean folds.
The next trick might seem a little tricky, but it’s really easy. Grab the edge crease on the first crease and bring the crease back to the lower lip line – line it up and press down on the paper. This will create a crease inside the mouth.
Finished! You’ve created your Surprise Big Mouth Lion printable paper toy!
It’s time to play.
