Madagascar Movie Fun: Madagascar Lion Craft for Kids

Supplies needed: (affiliate links included)

  • Oranges
  • Yellow and orange pipe cleaners
  • Googly eyes
  • Craft glue
  • White scrap paper
  • Marker

Check your local craft, dollar, or retail store for these supplies. You should be able to find them easily and at minimal cost.

Directions for this Madagascar lion craft:
1. Begin by gluing the googly eyes to the front of your orange. You will start to see the face of Alex taking shape already.
2. Next, cut your pipe cleaners into one inch strips. Fold them then into “V” shapes. You will use these to create the mane of Alex.
3. Poke the “V” shapes into the bottom of the orange. Alternate colors as you do. You will notice the mane shape starting to take place.
4. Take two more pipe cleaners and cut them into “V” shapes and press them to the top of the orange. These will act as the ears of the lion.
5. Take your marker to draw the mouth and nose directly onto the orange.
6. Finish the lion by cutting some strips of white paper and gluing them on for whiskers.

Your Madagascar lion craft is now complete. Enjoy your work of art for a little while and then enjoy it as a healthy snack. This is a fun and frugal way to enjoy the movie further as a family! Looking for more fun movie crafts? Check out our Mr. Peabody & Sherman Time Capsule!

    That is cute! You could totally do something like this with the orange in a bentos box, although I’d use a food alternative from pipecleaner. But this is adorable!
