Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Themed

Toilet Paper Roll Turkey – We cant get enough of these adorable turkeys! Use the roll as your base and add on the eyes, beak, feathers and feet. You can use wiggle eyes, chenille stems for feet, and actual feathers like the second turkey or keep things simple by drawing everything on like the first. Try using the construction paper feathers and have students write what they are thankful for on them!

  

Toilet Paper Roll Pilgrim Hat – This easy to make hat makes for the perfect center piece or place cards to show your guests where their seats are. Using construction paper, cover your roll in black. Then trace the end of your roll to give you the circle that covers the top of the hat. The bottom brim is just another circle but you want it to be larger than the first. Glue the circles in place and add the yellow square detailing to create the perfect pilgrim hat.

   

Toilet Paper Roll Crafts: Halloween

Toilet paper rolls make for the perfect recycled crafts! We want to help you prepare for the upcoming holidays with a few of our favorite Holiday Toilet Paper Roll Crafts. From Halloween to Christmas, here are a few ideas to decorate your classroom or to send home with your students to decorate their homes.

For starters, you will need to collect your toilet paper rolls. These are great to have on hand for art projects throughout the year too. Try storing them away as you use them up.

Next you will want to grab all your art supplies. This could mean using paint, markers, stickers, glue, scissors, and more!

Halloween Themed

Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkins – There are two different pumpkins that we chose. One is very simple and the other a little more challenging. Just paint or color with marker or crayon to get an orange roll. For the first, draw on a face and add leaves to the top. For the second, cut the roll into multiple rings. Glue or tie them together in the middle to create a pumpkin shape. The stem is simply a ring of toilet paper roll painted green with two strips cut on the bottom to create a vine effect.

  

Toilet Paper Roll Bats – This is as simple as it looks. Paint or color your roll black. When dry, fold down the top end on both sides to create the bat ear look. Wings can be cut out of black construction paper while you wait for the paint to dry. Add on the wings and a set of wiggle eyes and you're all finished!

Toilet Paper Roll Mummies – These mummies make for the perfect Halloween decorations. You can use a little left over toilet paper, thin streamers, white gauze, or tissue paper to cover the toilet paper roll and give it a mummy look. To get the first option simply add on some wiggle eyes. The second one makes this craft even cuter by making it more personal! Just cut out a picture of each students face and put it on the roll before wrapping. Now they are the mummies!

Bathroom Supplies

Bathroom Supplies are one thing you can never afford to run out of in a daycare. Toilet paper is number 1, it would be a stressful day to run out of this with 100 children needing to go to the bathroom. Paper towels are essential as well since you want the kids to be able to dry their hands after washing. Good hand washing is essential to prevent the spread of germs so don't discourage the kids not to wash by not having paper towels to dry with. Soap and hand sanitizers are more products that you must have in any preschool facility. Preventing the spread of germs should be a HIGH priority.
