MADELINE CRAFT   

Madeline is SO funny (or so says my daughter).  I watched one of the movies and didn't quite get the humour, but it was fun listening to Tasha giggle. 

Materials

  • a toilet paper tube
  • a printer
  • a piece of paper
  • some crayons
  • scissors
  • glue
     
    I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.

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.
      

  • Glue on the head, arms, and legs.

    • We glued the legs onto the tp roll so she looked like she was sitting.  Then we bent them at the knees so they hung over the edge of the mantle.

    • If I did the craft again, I would trim the tp roll a little shorter (I'd take off about an inch and a half) to make her a bit more proportional (ours has an awfully tall body!)
        

  • 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).
