Squirrel Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a fun and easy color, cut and paste craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give the project a three dimensional effect.  

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll
  • a 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.
      
  • Fold the tail in half and glue it together so it is colored on both sides.  Bend the tab and glue it onto the back of the tp roll to give it a 3d effect.
      
  • Glue on the head and arms.
      
  • Fold the tabs on the feet and glue them onto the body to give a three dimensional effect.
      
  • Glue the acorn into one of the hands.
      

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).
