Legend has it that if, on the first of March, the weather comes in like a lion (fierce and strong), it will go out like a lamb (mild). The opposite is also true. Featured at Mrs. Beggs Kindergarten, this March bulletin board display, designed by fellow kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Fox, creates a grand representation of this ancient tale - pulling in the 'color' of March {green, of course!} and providing a place to display fun student crafts!

Lion & Lamb Crafts

In like a lion...

Out like a lamb...

• Be sure to visit Mrs. Beggs Kindergarten page if you wish to reproduce the lion's on the board. She provides a close-up of the craft and written directions!
• For a twist on the original craft, follow the directions at Mrs. Beggs Kindergarten page, substituting plain popped popcorn for the cotton balls.
• Create a hand print lamb like these at Free Preschool Crafts.
• Invite students to paint a card stock sheep cut out with this fluffy shaving cream paint we found at Toddler Craft, adding black felt or construction paper head/feet.
