The king of the jungle is roaring his way into your ABC Craft lineup this week! But don’t worry, this lion is really just a big pussycat. His roar is much bigger than his bite!
Here’s What You’ll Need
2 sheets of printer paper
Card stock (we used yellow, orange, and dark blue)
Cut out the templates and trace the letter L and the lion pieces onto card stock.
Cut out the letter L and the lion pieces.
Glue the letter L and the lion’s head, feet, and tail onto a full sheet of card stock (we used dark blue, but you can use any color you like) to form a lion.
Affix two googly eyes to the lion’s head.
Use a black marker to draw the lion’s nose and mouth details.
Learning with Your Letter L Craft
As you and your child assemble your L Is for Lion Craft, practice saying /l/–/l/–lion together. You can find more tips for working on pre-reading skills with your preschooler in this handy download.

My two-year-old and four-year-old daughters are loving doing a letter per week! Tomorrow is I is for inchworm and I’m so excited! ? thank you All About Learning!
This looks like it would be fun for my little boy one day ! He’s still a baby but I’ve already started collecting educational things for him. I guess I’m starting early !!
This is a great way to help my son connect letter sound with letters . He can pull up the whole project quickly in his mind to prompt the correct sound.
Emily,
That is a common speech issue with younger children, although the /l/ sound is typically mastered at about 4 years of age. If your children are older than that, you may consider helping them with the sound. I found the book Teach Me How to Say it Right: Helping Your Child with Articulation Problems by Dorothy P. Dougherty to be helpful for my child that had difficulties pronouncing certain sounds.
I really like the ideas within this program. My son really enjoys playing the learning games. I would love to win the prize this month. Both my boys are struggling with school.
