Toilet Paper Roll Snowman


Another snowman craft made my Hasan.  I saw this idea on Crafts By Amanda.  She also made children out of toilet paper rolls as well.  They looked so cute I had to get Hasan to make one of them.  I love her idea of how to make the earmuffs...very creative!  This was the first time Hasan used the hot glue gun.  Everything dried very quickly.  We didn't paint the toilet paper roll because I wanted to finish this craft in one sitting.

Materials Needed:
1 toilet paper roll
small piece of pipe cleaner
2 small pom poms
2 buttons
1 strip of felt
markers
hot glue gun

How To:
You could paint the toilet paper or even wrap it in construction paper.  Since ours was white we left it as is.

Draw on the snowman's eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose and some rosy cheeks.

Using a glue gun, glue on the buttons.

To make the ear muffs we first glued the pipe cleaners on using the glue gun and then glued a pom pom on each side.

Finally tie the felt around the snowman to make the scarf.  Done!

    How cute, love how it turned out! I hope you don't mind, but I added this picture to my fan page photo album on Facebook and linked it back to your blog post :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152687265720217&set=a.10152588178750217.962583.323548680216&type=3&theater

      Thank you Amanda! Hasan loved making it! I also had him made the styrofoam jellyfish from your blog (http://keepin2boysbusy.blogspot.ca/2012/08/styrofoam-jellyfish.html)

Craft Stick Fish

I saw this craft in Easy Fun Crafts with Everyday Items .  I have a bunch of craft sticks and it looked very simple.  In the book they used bigger sticks...mine were the size of Popsicle stick.  I didn't have enough of one colour so I mixed it up.  I let Hasan pick the colours.  We glued a couple of magnets on the back and Hasan gave it to his Nani (maternal grandmother).

Toilet Paper Roll Octopus

I saw this craft a long time ago and thought it would be good to do with Hasan.  It's pretty simple and I've seen it on numerous websites .  The hardest thing for Hasan was waiting for the paint to dry.  We completed it in two days because Bilal woke up early from his nap after Hasan was done painting.

Styrofoam Jellyfish

I saw this craft on Crafts by Amanda .  Hasan made the ones pictured above and although they don't look as good as the ones Amanda made, he had a lot of fun making them which is the goal of any activity we do.  In the original craft you are supposed to paint the styrofoam half which would look really good.  I didn't do that because then I would have the boys start the craft and then have to make them wait for the paint to dry before they could continue.  I wanted to complete this craft in one sitting.  I was also lazy to get the googly eyes so Hasan just drew them on with a marker.  Bilal had a hard time with this craft and in the end just played with the pipe cleaners.
