Fun Craft for the kids!!!!!


Bald Eagle Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Although this does make a great USA themed craft, it works for any bird and forest theme (we have bald eagles up here in Canada too). I love the toilet paper roll crafts that have wings.

It would also work as a "Fish Eagle" craft.

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll,
  • printer,
  • glue,
  • scissors,
  • something to colour with
  • paper

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.
  • Colour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
  • Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
  • Glue the tummy onto the front of the tp roll.
  • Glue tail onto the back of the tp roll. I glued it to the inside back and then folded it upward. I think it looks nice that way, but be creative!.
  • Glue the head onto the front of the tp roll.
  • Glue the wings onto the back of the tp roll to make it look like the eagle is flying.
  • Fold the feet and glue the tabs to the inside of the tube.

Templates:

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
