DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Little Boy Craft

I receive a fair number of requests for crafts for birthday celebrations.  "Kara" asked me if I had any ideas for a "snips and snails and puppy dogs tails" craft, so I put this one together.  I've never really known what the "snip" was *grin*, so I used a baseball bat instead... it seemed boy-ish to me!

The A.A. Milne poem "Come Out With Me" goes nicely with this craft.

Materials:

  • a toilet paper roll, 
  • a printer, 
  • a piece of paper, 
  • some crayons, 
  • scissors,
  • glue

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice. 
      
  • Colour (as required) and cut out the template pieces. 
      
  • Glue the large rectangle on the tp roll (red and white stripes at the top... blue half at the bottom). 
      
  • Glue on the overall top. 
      
  • Glue on the head, arms and feet.
      
  • Glue the puppy by the boy's feet, the snail in one hand and the baseball bat in the other.

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).

Template:  color   or   B&W
