Chick Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Contributed by
This is an easy cut and paste craft that utilizes a toilet paper roll to give it a three dimensional effect. You can use a piece of a paper towel roll instead, if you prefer.
I originally made this craft for Easter, but you could make it for a farm theme, shapes theme, yellow theme, birds theme or spring theme.
A different looking chick toilet paper roll craft can be found here.
Materials:

- a printer,
- paper for the printer,

- crayons (or something else to color with).
Instructions:
- Print out the craft template of choice.
