Robber Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a fun and simple cut and paste craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional effect. 

I made this fellow with the Bremen Town Musicians fairy tale in mind... there are a number of Fairy Tales and Children's Stories that include a robber or thief.  I tried to make him a "not too scary" looking bad guy.

Make the Police TP roll craft to go with him!

• a toilet paper roll,
