We continued our I Spy…India theme for storytime. I wanted to include a tiger and rain, so I designed this craft.
I have included templates for the tigers’ head, tail, body, belly, and the umbrella. I used circle paper punches for the tiger’s ears. I also free handed some cloud shapes.
Positioning the tail is key for it to appear that the tiger is holding the umbrella.
Each umbrella will require 2 circles. Cut the circles in half and then fold in half again. Glue each half circle together and then glue to page. This will create a 3-D style umbrella.
After gluing all the pieces onto the background piece of paper, using markers I added the umbrella handle and raindrops. I also drew on the the tiger’s ‘stripes’, nose, whiskers, and mouth. We used googly eyes but you could draw those on, if you like.
