Mountain Lion Printable Craft

newcrafts2-060
Mountain Lions (also known as cougars, pumas, and catamounts) are beautiful, large cats that are found all over the Americas. Lorelai, my animal-obsessed 5 year-old, asked me to make a printable after seeing one in her animal encyclopedia. It had been on my list of crafts to design for a while, so I jumped right on it. She chose to craft this little guy in metallic yellow (gold) and cream. Instead of gluing down the legs, we used brad fasteners so she could move them back and forth. I love how she glued the tail pointing upwards; I had designed it pointing down but she decided he was a “scaredy cat” and it needed to be pointing the other way. =) Print below and enjoy!!
