DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Magenta Craft 

Materials

Blue's friend Magenta is made with

•  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 pink 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, legs and the arms. 
   
• Glue the spots onto the back of the tube.
   
• Glue the tail onto the back of the tube, using the tabs to make a 3D effect.
