Giraffe Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a cute three dimensional giraffe craft that is fun for young children to make and to play with.

  

 Materials:

bullet 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, legs and tail
  
bulletWe typically make the crafts as if they're sitting up on their haunches as it's easier to construct them and my children are young.   However, you can make them so they stand on all 4's (use a straw, cardboard, toothpick or stir stick glued to the back of the legs for extra support).
  

Templates:  

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).
