DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Chameleon Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a cute three dimensional chameleon craft that is fun for young children to make and to play with.

This TP roll chameleon craft is a great accompaniment to the children’s book The Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle.

Print out the craft template of choice.
Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.
Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube. Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if you find the rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down. If you find it's a bit too small, just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
Glue on the head and arms.
Fold the tail in half so it's colored on each side. Fold the tab and glue to the back of the toilet paper roll to give a 3 dimensional effect.
Fold the feet tabs and glue to the inside, bottom of the toilet paper roll.
Glue the paintbrush into one of the hands. (chameleons change colors to blend into their surroundings... They don't use a paintbrush *grin* but I thought it got the point across)
