We had a very fun time making this giraffe today 😀

Toilet Paper Roll Giraffe

You will need four toilet paper rolls and one kitchen paper roll

Draw a giraffe head and cut. Draw another slightly bigger head, cut and paste to the smaller head.

You’ll get a giraffe head as shown above.

Cut the remaining rolls as shown above.

Glue them all together to get the giraffe.

Paint the giraffe yellow

While waiting for the yellow paint to dry, cut a strip of paper for the giraffe’s mane and paint it brown.

Paint the spots brown

Glue the eyes, mane and tail.

The giraffe is done 😀

Our poster boy now loves painting pictures. He has graduated from colour pencils and crayons and is now loving water paints.

I’ve done this video of him painting an elephant. Enjoy 😀

Feeling a little Oink Oink today so we will be making a paper plate pig! 😀

Paper plate pig

You’ll need a paper plate, two cups from the egg carton and a ring cut out of toilet paper roll

Paste a piece of paper on one side of the toilet paper roll ring and cut out the excess

Glue the egg carton and toilet paper roll ring onto the paper plate. Let dry.

Paint the entire surface pink

Leave it to dry

Paste eyes and nose. I used hole punch and punch out black construction paper for the nose.

Your pig is done 😀 Oink Oink!

It’s St. Patrick’s today and let’s celebrate by making a four leaf clover out of toilet paper roll 🙂

Four Leaf Clover

You’ll need to cut the toilet paper rolls into rings. You’ll need four rings

Press and shape them until you get 4 heart rings

Paint the heart rings green

It can get pretty messy on the fingers 🙂

Cut green crepe paper and paste onto a paper plate

Once the four heart rings dry, paste them onto the paper plate too.
Happy St. Patrick’s to all craftiers out there 😀

Painting is so much fun. What do you do if you need to put down your brush for a moment while you take a break or two?

Don’t just put them on the table and risk them rolling off or anything similar to that. Cut an egg carton and use it as a brush holder. This way, your brush is kept in place until you are ready to resume your painting. Don’t even bother to paint or decorate the egg carton as after sometime, it will have its own unique mixture of colours 😀

It has been sometime since we last did an egg carton craft. Today, let’s make an elephant! 😀

Egg Carton Elephant

You’ll need a head with huge ears and a body with legs.

Cut them out

Paint it whatever colour you like 🙂

Paint the ears and eyes and your elephant is done 🙂

Finas of My Learning World did this cute paper plate chick 🙂

She painted 3 paper plates (of different sizes) yellow.

Glue the small plate to the bigger plate.

Cut the beak, wings and feet from the remaining paper plate and glue.

Shred tissue paper and paste as the feathers.

Paste eyes and cottons and there you have it, a cute paper plate chick 😀

Thank you My Learning World for sharing this simple craft with us 🙂

Let’s make a flower out of toilet paper roll today 🙂

Toilet Paper Roll Flower

Draw lines and cut as shown above

Paint it

Punch a hole and poke a wooden chopstick through and glue.

Your flower is done 🙂

Art time is so much fun. To prevent your clothes from paints, wear a smock or an apron.

On the other hand, you can turn an over-sized old tee into an art apron.

That way you can make as much mess as you like 😛
