Toilet Roll Leprechaun Craft for Kids
This Toilet Roll Leprechaun Craft is perfect for preschool age kids!
You’ll need:
toilet roll tubes (we used green tubes from the craft store)
black card stock
green construction paper
manilla card stock
buttons
wiggly eyes
colored pencils
black pen
white school glue
scissors
Directions:
After gathering supplies, cut the black paper into 1 inch strips. Next cut the green paper into 1/2 inch strips. Wrap a black strip around the toilet roll tube to make a belt, then glue in place. Glue a yellow button to the middle of the belt.
Cut the manilla cardstock into a 3 inch circle. Invite kids to draw a face on the circle. We gave our leprechauns hair, a nose, a smile, and a bright orange beard. Next, use the leftover black paper to make little hats for the toilet roll leprechauns. Glue a green button to the middle of each hat.
When the leprechaun’s head is finished, glue it to the toilet roll tube. Fold the green 1/2 inch paper strips like accordions, then glue them to the toilet roll tube. Use scissors to trim excess.
