DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Groundhog Toilet Paper Roll Craft
(aka Woodchuck)
Groundhog's Day is on February 2nd. But this little guy is cute any time of the year!
Lisa did not have enough toilet paper rolls for her entire class last year, but she used the toilet paper roll head, arms and legs plus an oval of paper and let the children attach the limbs to the oval body with glue (to do this Lisa just cut the rectangle from the toilet paper roll craft into an oval so she didn't waste paper). I thought this was a great idea and would be suitable for even younger children to make!
