DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Platypus Toilet Paper Roll Craft
This is a simple, three dimensional bull craft that young children enjoy making and playing with.
Materials:
- a toilet paper roll,
- a printer,
- something to colour with,
- scissors,
- glue,
- 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 the tail onto the back of the tp roll using the tabs to make a 3D effect.
- Glue the head onto the front of the tp roll.
- Glue on the arms and legs. We usually make the crafts so they look like they are sitting on their haunches.
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).
