Chameleon Toilet Paper Roll Craft

This is a cute three dimensional chameleon craft that is fun for young children to make and to play with.

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll

  • printer, 

  • something to colour with, 

  • scissors, 

  • glue, and 

  • paper

Instructions:

  • Print out the template of choice.  
      
  • Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
      
  • Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.  Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if you find the rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down.  If you find it's a bit too small, just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
      
  • Glue on the head and arms
      
  • Fold the tail in half so it's colored on each side.  Fold the tab and glue to the back of the tp roll to give a 3 dimensional effect.
      
  • Fold the feet tabs and glue to the inside, bottom of the tp roll.
      
  • Glue the paintbrush into one of the hands.  (chameleons change colors to blend into their surroundings... they don't use a paintbrush *grin* but I thought it got the point across)
