10. Paper Towel Roll Animals

Transforming paper towel rolls into cute animals is a great way to recycle and create something fun at the same time. This craft can also serve as a lesson on sustainability and reusing materials.

What You’ll Need:

  • Paper towel rolls (or toilet paper rolls)
  • Paints, markers, or colored paper
  • Glue, scissors
  • Craft eyes or buttons

How to Do It:

  1. Cut the paper towel roll to a size that works for the animal you want to make (e.g., for a lion, cut to about 3-4 inches).
  2. Paint or cover the roll with colored paper.
  3. Add features like ears, eyes, noses, and a tail using paper, fabric, or buttons.
  4. Create your animal’s body with additional materials like paper, felt, or yarn.
