DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Tinman Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

Wizard of Oz fans have been waiting a long time for this one!   This is a simple three dimensional craft that is fun for kids to make and play with.

Materials:

• toilet paper roll or cardboard tube,
• printer,
• something to color with,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color craft pieces if you printed the black and white version of the template.
• Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance.
• Glue the large rectangle onto the toilet paper roll.
  • You can use Aluminum foil instead of the template piece to cover the toilet paper roll.
  • Just keep in mind that it's a bit harder to glue things to Aluminum foil.
• Glue on the head and arms.
• Glue the heart onto the center of the tin man's chest or into one of his hands.
• Bend the tabs (dotted) of the feet and glue to the inside of the toilet paper roll.

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).
