Blue Oni Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

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.

What are Oni?  Oni are naughty ogre-like creatures that bring bad luck to a household.  Originally oni were depicted as quite scary and evil but they've been a bit toned down over the years since so many daddies dress up as them for the big bean throwing event and parades so I think of them as more "naughty" or unlucky.

Oni are either blue or red.  Blue oni are thought to be more rational and intellectural.

Materials:

  • a toilet paper roll,
  • printer,
  • glue,
  • scissors,
  • something to color with,
  • a piece of paper
