How to make this adorable Easter bunny craft idea!
Take your toilet paper roll, cover it in your chosen colour of paint and then pop it aside to dry.
Cut out two rounded outer ears and then two smaller coloured inner ears. Glue the inner ears onto the outer ears and then once dry stick the ears in place on the inside of the toilet roll tube.
Cut out two large feet then cut out the small circles and an oval shape from your colourful paper and stick them onto the feet to make the footprints.
Glue two large googly eyes onto the front of the roll and then add a small pom pom nose between the eyes.
Use a pen to draw on the rabbit’s mouth and whiskers and optionally stick on a small white rectangle for the teeth.
Finally add a fluffy pom pom to the back and your adorable Easter bunny craft is finished and ready to display or gift!

How to make this paper stingray craft
Take your stingray coloured paper and cut out a circular shape with a slightly narrower curve on one side to make the nose.
Add some double sided tape to the top part of the toilet roll and stick the paper onto the toilet roll so that the roll is beneath the nose and stretching down the body
Cut out a long thin point to make the stingrays tail and then stick it in place on the underside of the stingray’s body.
Add two eyes and a cute smiley mouth to the nose of your stingray.
And then finally add any optional decorations; we cut out several spots and glued them onto ours! Once totally dry the stingrays are finished and are ready to be played with or displayed!

How to make toilet roll camouflage binoculars!
Cut out a strip of card the same height as the tp roll and long enough to wrap around it. Glue the card and wrap it around the toilet roll.
Repeat the above step to make the other side of the binoculars.
Glue a thin black strip around both ends of each toilet roll to make the rim of the binoculars.
Next cut out several patches from your coloured papers and glue them down randomly on each tube to create a camouflage effect
Glue the two tubes of the binoculars together and then finally take a length of string and glue an end down inside each tube on the outer edge of the roll. I used a glue gun for my kid’s binoculars but pva glue will work perfectly too, you’ll just need to make to sure your child’s binoculars are completely dry before they’re played with!

How to make this cute paper snail craft
Take the coloured card that you be using to make the snails shell and cut out a strip from each. The strips should be equal width but varying lengths, each of ours were 2cm apart in length to give us strips of 12cm, 14cm, 16cm and 18cm.
Take the strips and glue them together at one end…
Then glue the other ends of the strips together to make a rainbow like shape.
Take the two ends and glue them together to create the circular shell.
Next take the card that you will be using to make the body of the snail. Cut out a strip the same width as the shell strips. Round off one end with Scissors to make the snails tail and then cut two little stalks on the other end, before attaching an eye to each stalk.
Fold a small section near the eyes to make the head. Finish off your cute paper snail by gluing the snails shell onto the body, aren’t these just the cutest!
