Alien Monster Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Looking for a fun, out-of-this-world craft? With this Alien Monster project, kids can turn an ordinary toilet paper roll into a silly space creature. They’ll color, cut, and glue the alien pieces however they like. It’s a simple activity that sparks imagination and works great for Halloween or any space-themed craft time.
Materials:
- toilet paper roll,
- printer,
- glue,
- scissors,
- something to colour with,
- a piece of paper.
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice
- Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
- Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
- Glue the head onto the top of the tp roll.
- Glue the hat onto the head.
- Glue the arms on the side. There are four arms -- the children can use all or some of them and arrange them as they please.
- Glue the feet onto the bottom of the tp roll, bending the tabs to make a 3D effect. There are four feet -- again, use however many you like!
- Fold the tail in half and glue it together so it's colored on both sides. Fold the tab and glue it on the back to give a 3D effect.
