Crafts that include recycling are among my favorite crafts to do. My kids brought this one home for us to do last weekend. This craft requires you to recycle old toilet paper rolls after you are done with them. This was something that the kids where able to do almost all by themselves. They will also make a great fall decoration for any area of the house.
Materials Needed:
• Toilet paper roll
• Popsicle stick
• Muffin cup
• Construction paper
• Masking tape
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers
Instructions:
1. Cut 2 slits down your TP roll, opposite each other and about 2/3 down the roll.
2. Slide your popsicle stick into the slits. Wrap the top 1/3 of the roll with masking tape (to make the scarecrows face, and to keep the TP roll together).
3. Cut a strip of yellow construction paper about 5″ X 11/2″ big. Cut fringe at either end. Fold it to fit the top of the TP roll and glue on.
4. Once your Scarecrow’s hair is on go ahead and draw on a face and glue on your muffin cup hat. Add a little more color by cutting out small square patches for your Scarecrow.
