Elmo Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Tickle me again! *shudder*... it was cute the first time, but after the 9,000,000th it got a tad grating. I think I can finally look at Elmo again without having giggle flashbacks. "Sonja" obviously has stronger nerves than I, as she is the one who requested this craft for her son who "would just LOVE to do Elmo". Here you go Sonja...

Materials

a toilet paper tube
a printer
a piece of paper
some crayons
scissors
and glue

I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.

Instructions:

Print out the template of choice. If using the black and white template, try printing it on red construction paper.
Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
Glue on the head, arms and legs.
Glue the ice cream cone onto one of Elmo's hands if you feel like he's in the mood to indulge.

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).
