Zeus
Toilet Paper Roll Craft
This is a fun and simple color, cut and paste paper craft
that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional
effect.
In Greek mythology, Zeus is the ruler of Mount Olympus
and god of the sky. The Olympian brothers (Zeus, Poseidon
and Hades) each received a weapon to battle the titans: Zeus
received the lightning bolt, Poseidon received the trident
and Hades received the helmet of invisibility -- after they
defeated the Titans they drew lots to see who would rule
what -- Zeus the sky, Poseidon the seas and Hades the
underworld.
