Kids Craft Project: Toilet Tube Tiger + a Giveaway!

December 15, 2014 by AllFreeKidsCrafts Leave a Comment

This post is brought to you by Brian Yarnish of Scrapkins


So here’s the deal. It’s an excitable time of year. The kids need something fun and easy to do. You don’t have many art materials on hand. You want some real creative DIY time to inspire them. Grab a cardboard tube, crayons and scissors and in 5 minutes you’ll create a “Tiger”, together! Let’s get started.

tiger-tube-project

Materials You Need:

  • 1 Cardboard toilet paper tube or a paper towel tube cut in half
  • Pair of scissors
  • Markers & crayons
  • School Glue & colored paper (if you want to get fancy)

Remember: Don’t buy anything! This is about using what you already have and discovering the possibilities.

Instructions:

1) Make 3 cuts in the bottom of your tube about 1.5 inches long and 1 inch apart.

2) Fold up the 2 flaps you just cut. These will be the tiger’s feet.

3) Cut out triangle shapes at the end of feet to form claws.

4) Turn around tube and cut off the extra piece behind the feet so your tiger will stand.

5) Cut this piece in half the long way to make 2 arms.

6) Cut a rectangle shape with angled edges from the top front of tube. This will form ears.

7) Make a cut from the top to halfway down the tube just behind each of the ears.

8) Turn tube around and cut off the extra piece at the top behind the ears.

9) Round off the corners at one end of this piece. This will be the tail.

10) Cut a small slot at the back of tube at the bottom. Slide tail into slot.

11) Slide the arms into each if the slots behind the ears.

12) Decorate! Use markers and crayons to draw the face of your tiger and color it’s body. Don’t be afraid to make up your own tiger with different colors or glued-on paper pieces.
