DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Cow Toilet Paper Roll Craft
I've had a lot of requests for farm animal
crafts. This cute cow is made with a toilet paper roll (he's one of the few cows I'd
allow in the house).
A different looking cow tp roll craft can be found here.
Materials:
- a toilet paper roll,
- a printer,
- something to colour with,
- scissors,
- glue, and
- paper.

Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the
template pieces.
- Glue the large rectangular piece on first to
cover the tube. Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if you find the
rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down. If you find it's a bit too small,
just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
- Glue on the head, tail, legs and bell.
- We put her together as if she was sitting on her haunches -- they don't
do this of course, but this is the simplest way for young children to
construct the craft. It also gives the animal a
"cartoon" feel which the kids seem to like.
- 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).
