INSIDE: This adorable paper tiger craft is so much fun to make! It makes a great painting craft for toddlers and preschoolers.
Paper Tiger Craft
Grab a sheet of orange construction paper. Pour some black paint into a bowl and grab your sponge brush.
Invite your little one to dip the sponge brush in the paint and then create tiger stripes on the orange construction paper using the edge of the brush.
Set it aside to dry or use a hair drier to dry it quickly.
In the meantime cut out an oval nose and mouth from black construction paper and ears from orange construction paper.
Invite your little one to glue the ears, nose and mouth to the tiger head. Add google eyes and display!
Age Suitability
This activity is more of a parent activity to make for your kids. Advent calendars are great for all ages! My kids are 3.5, 3.5, and 7.5 year old.

Make quiet time their favourite time!
Play is at the core of learning during the early years and it can take many forms. One of the most important of these is sensory play because it engages all of a child’s senses (taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing) and has a enoumous positive impact on brain development.
My Sensory Play Kits are a fun and easy way to keep your child engaged while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits of sensory play to nurture their mind!
