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).

Materials:

bulleta toilet paper roll, 
bullet a printer, 
bullet something to colour with, 
bullet scissors, 
bullet glue, and 
bullet paper. 

Instructions:  

bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
  
bulletColour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
  
bulletGlue 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.
  
bulletGlue on the head, tail, legs and bell.
bulletWe 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.
  
bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
   
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
