T.P. Roll Creatures

What to do with all those toilet paper rolls (other than recycle them, of course)...make creatures!

Here's what you need:
A toilet paper roll
Paint
Hole punch
Pipe cleaners

Here's what you do:
1. Paint the outside of your toilet paper roll in fun colors.

2. Add a face if desired (my 3-year-old opted for the faceless variety). Googly eyes would be fun to add - but I didn't have any when we were making the creatures yesterday.

3. Punch two holes (or more if you want a medusa-like or octopus-type creature) at the top of the roll.

4. Cut a pipe cleaner in half and insert each half into the holes punched at the top of the creature.

5. Create an fascinating story staring your new toys.
