How to Make a Daniel in the Lion's Den Craft
This project lets the children enjoy making a craft that they can touch and feel. The lion's face will remind them that God protected Daniel from the lions even though it was a very dangerous situation. As the children do this craft, tell them that God protects them from danger just like He protected Daniel.

- White construction paper (one for each child)
