DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Hippo Toilet Paper Roll Craft
This is a simple three dimensional hippopotamus craft that is
fun for kids to make and play with. I thought scuba gear would be
cute for a hippo to hold -- they spend a lot of time submerged in lakes
with only their noses poking above the water.
A different looking hippo tp roll craft can be found here.
Materials:
 |
toilet paper roll |
|
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, arms and chest.
|
| Fold the feet tabs and glue to the inside, bottom
of the tp roll.
|
| Glue the scuba gear into one of the hands

page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
