DLTK's Educational Crafts for Kids
Jack and the Beanstalk:
Giant Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Materials:

• a toilet paper roll or cardboard tube,
• printer,
• glue,
• scissors,
• something to colour with
• a piece of paper

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color the pieces if using the B&W version.  Give the kids the chance to be creative and let them use their favorite tools -- colored pencils, crayons, markers, pastels or paints.  Whatever inspires them today.
• Carefully cut out the craft templates.  This may require some adult assistance for some of the tougher pieces.
• Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube - the top 2/3 is his jaggedy shirt and the bottom 1/3 is his bare legs.
• Glue the head onto the top of the toilet paper roll.
• Glue the arms on the side.
• Glue the feet onto the bottom of the toilet paper roll, bending the tabs to make a 3D effect.
• Glue the club into one of the hands.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
