Australian Friends

OK, OK... I realize that people in Australia likely don't all dress up like Crocodile Dundee.  But then again, folks in Canada don't typically dress like Dudley Do-Right either.  I figure the favorite friends can be a little stereotypical when they're cheering for their favorite Olympic team!

Australian Friends

I've provided a template of clothes and accessories that you can add to most of the Favorite Friends or Animal tp roll crafts.  So, make yourself one of about 100 possible Australian tp roll critters like Blue's Clues, Scooby Doo, Pikachu, a mouse, a hippo, a kangaroo... you get the idea! 


Materials:

bulleta tp roll
bulleta printer,
bulleta piece of paper... I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.
bulletsome crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons,
bulletscissors,
bulletglue,
bulletyour favorite Favorite Friend or Animal tp roll craft template.
