Magenta Craft 

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. 

  
bulletPrint out the template of choice.  If using the black and white template, try printing it on pink construction paper. 
 
bulletColour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.  
 
bulletGlue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube. 
 
bulletGlue on the head, legs and the arms. 
 
bulletGlue the spots onto the back of the tube.
 
bulletGlue the tail onto the back of the tube, using the tabs to make a 3D effect.  

   

bulletClose the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
    
bulletSet page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
