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. 

Therefore, for this craft you will need a sense of humor and it wouldn't hurt to have a toilet paper tube, a printer, a piece of paper, some crayons, scissors, and glue close by.  I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.

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!)
