Yak Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a fun and simple color, cut and paste craft uses a toilet paper roll to give it a three dimensional effect.  Young children will enjoy making and playing with it.

Materials:

bullet a 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 onto the top of the toilet paper roll.
  
bulletFold the tail and glue it together (so it's colored on both sides) then bend the tab and glue it onto the back to give it a three dimensional effect.
  
bulletGlue the legs onto the toilet paper roll:  We put him together as if he was sitting on his haunches -- they don't do this of course, but this is the simplest way for young children to construct the craft.  It also gives the animal a "cartoon" feel which the kids seem to like.
    
 

Templates:
