Toilet Paper Fun for Kids!
Mar 3, 2009

All you need is a few supplies and a child's imagination!
When it comes to making something out of something that doesn’t seem to exciting, leave it to kids to come
up with the best idea ever. Toilet Paper crafts, like Toilet Paper Roll puppets, can be a great way for your child to show off some creativity while using easy to find materials right at home. Here’s how to make one of your own:
Materials Needed:
- Toilet Paper and/or Paper Towel Rolls
- Craft Sticks
- Glue
- Scissors
- Construction Paper
- Various Craft Supplies (felt, moving eyes, yarn, etc.)
Instructions:
Very simple!
Decorate the cardboard toilet paper rolls to make different people or animals. You can even cut them to different heights. Use the misc. craft supplies to make hair, clothes, mouths, etc. Use the scissors to cut out the details you want in 3-D, or add on other craft supplies. If you’re feeling really artistic, you can also paint your rolls to resemble just about anything!
Glue the craft sticks inside the bottom edge of the cardboard roll for handles, so you can have a puppet show later! Remember – be creative!


I love your blog for arts and crafts ideas. Toilet paper and paper towel rolls are great for being crafty. They’ll always be a new one available each week and sometimes 3 a week in our house!
Wow 3 rolls! Sounds like you should be buying in bulk.
Great ideas. We don’t go through that much TP at home, but I like to collect the empty ones from work. They come in handy for crafts when I babysit or volunteer at the hospital.
Amazing idea.
We have kids and will get them to try these creations.
Thanks for sharing.
