DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Ghost Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Kids can use a cardboard tube and the printable template provided to create a cute little ghost for Halloween.
You could do it without the template instead if you like with white and black paint and your own artistic imagination!
Materials:
- toilet paper roll,
- printer,
- glue,
- scissors,
- something to colour with,
- a piece of paper
Instructions:
- Print out the ghost template.
- Cut out the pieces of the ghost template.
- Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
- Glue the arms on the sides of the ghost, bending the tabs so you can glue them on more easily.
- Glue the eyes on the ghost.
- Glue the mouth below the eyes (you can pick whether you want to glue it as a spooky mouth or a smiley face mouth).
Templates:
- After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
- If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
