Paper Roll Snowman Craft
Supplies
- toilet paper rolls or kitchen paper rolls (you can buy paper craft rolls online)
- white paper or white paint
- colored paper (orange is a must for carrot nose)
- black marker
- scissors
- glue
Directions
- Cut the white paper and glue it around the paper roll. Alternatively you can also paint the paper roll white. Cut a strip of colored paper for the scarf and a carrot shape out of orange paper.
- Wrap the strip of paper around the paper roll (just above the middle).
- Glue together to make a scarf.
- Draw eyes, mouth and buttons with a black marker.
- Glue on the nose and your Paper Roll Snowman Craft is done!
Egg Carton Penguins
Supplies
- Egg Carton
- Black Paint
- White and Orange Paper
- Googly Eyes
- Glue
Instructions
- Trim the “cups” out of the egg carton. Then cut out a beak and feet from orange paper and a belly from white paper.
- Paint the individual cups black.
- Once you’ve painted the egg carton cups, let them dry completely.
- Glue the white belly onto the little bump that juts out of the egg carton. The shape makes a perfect belly, so if you have white paint, or even white out, go ahead and paint that little bump instead of using paper.
- Glue on the beak.
- Glue on the eyes.
- Fold the feet and then glue them to the inside of the egg carton cup.
