DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Tinman Toilet Paper Roll Craft 

Wizard of Oz fans have been waiting a long time for this one!   This is a simple three dimensional craft that is fun for kids to make and play with.

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll

  • printer, 

  • something to colour with, 

  • scissors, 

  • glue, and 

  • paper
      

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
     
  • Colour pieces, as necessary. 
     
  • Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance. 
     
  • Glue the large rectangle onto the tp roll.
    • You can use tinfoil instead of the template piece to cover the tp roll.
    • Just keep in mind that it's a bit harder to glue things to tinfoil. 
        
  • Glue on the head and arms.
     
  • Glue the heart onto the center of the tinman's chest or into one of his hands.
      
  • Bend the tabs (dotted) of the feet and glue to the inside of the tp roll.
     

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

When a man's an empty kettle
he should be on his mettle,
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presumin'
that I could be kind-a-human,
If I only had a heart.

I'd be tender - I'd be gentle
and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art.
I'd be friends with the sparrows...
and the boy who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.

Just to register emotion,
jealousy - devotion,
And really feel the part.
I could stay young and chipper
and I'd lock it with a zipper,
If I only had a heart...
