Camouflage Binoculars Craft
Materials you will need for the binoculars are
- two toilet paper rolls
- glue or tape
- ribbon, string or wool
- scissors and hole punch
- something to color with (if using B&W version) or you
could just use construction paper
- printer and paper
- OPTIONAL: small scrap of black construction paper

INSTRUCTIONS
- Print template of choice (twice) and color pieces as necessary
- Cut out template pieces (may require adult assistance, but the
pieces are easy for beginning scissor users to cut out)
- Glue or tape the large rectangle to the toilet paper roll
- Glue or tape the small rectangle to the end of the tp roll.
- Repeat with the second template
- Glue or tape the two tp rolls together side by side
- OPTIONAL: Cut a piece of black construction paper about
2" x 3"
- roll the piece so you have a small tube
- glue the tube to the top, of your binoculars (this is the focus)
- Punch holes on either side of the binoculars
- String a piece of wool, ribbon or string through so the binoculars
can hang around the neck

NOTE: if you're worried about the children injuring themselves
if they get the string tangled, punch the holes very close to the edge of the tp
roll. That way the tp roll will rip if the string gets tangled.

And last but not least, pull out the camera and get a few shots of
daddy and the little ones sneaking around and spying on the neighbourhood
cat with their camouflage binoculars. The daddy in our house spends
far too much time dressing Barbies and tidying up the doll house for his
daughters... he
really enjoyed playing with his binoculars *grin*.
