Chick Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is an easy cut and paste craft that utilizes a toilet paper roll to give it a three dimensional effect.  You can use a piece of a paper towel roll instead, if you prefer.

I originally made this craft for Easter, but you could make it for a farm theme, shapes theme, yellow theme, birds theme or spring theme.

A different looking chick tp roll craft can be found here.
 

Materials:

• a toilet paper roll,
• a printer,
• paper for the printer,
• scissors,
• glue,
• crayons (or something else to colour with).
   

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
   
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
   
• Glue the rectangle onto the tp roll.  Then glue on the face pieces, wings and feet.
   

Alternative Decorating Ideas:

• Use sparkles, sparkle glue, or felt to decorate.
   
• Replace paper eyes with wiggly eyes.
   
• Glue feathers onto the wings and/or glue on a feather tail (you can pluck old feather dusters as a cheap source of feathers).
   
• Print the black and white template on yellow construction paper.  Print a second copy on white paper and mix & match the pieces.
   

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 in most browsers).
