Little Miss Muffet Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Little Miss Muffet is an easy color, cut and paste craft for children
to uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional
effect.
Materials:
- 2 toilet paper rolls
- glue
- scissors
- something to color with (if using the B&W template)
- paper (I prefer construction 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.
- Glue on the arms and the head.
- Glue the feet onto the bottom of the toilet paper roll, bending the tabs to make a 3D effect.
