Hummingbird Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a simple three dimensional animal craft that is fun for kids to make and play with. 

  

Materials:

  • a toilet paper roll, 
  • printer, 
  • glue, 
  • scissors, 
  • something to colour with
  • paper

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
     
  • Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.  (Hummingbirds are nice and bright:  green, blue, red and purple are all great colors to use)
     
  • Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
     
  • Glue  tail onto the back of the tp roll.   I glued it to the inside back and then folded it upward a bit so it would sit flat on the table.  I think it looks nice that way, but be creative.
     
  • Glue the head onto the front of the tp roll.
     
  • Make it look like the hummingbird is flying by gluing the wings onto the back of the roll.
       
  • Fold the feet and glue the tabs to the inside of the tube.
     

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 or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
