DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Little Boy Craft

I receive a fair number of requests for crafts for birthday celebrations.  "Kara" asked me if I had any ideas for a "snips and snails and puppy dogs tails" craft, so I put this one together.  I've never really known what the "snip" was *grin*, so I used a baseball bat instead... it seemed boy-ish to me!

The A.A. Milne poem "Come Out With Me" goes nicely with this craft.

Materials:

bullet a toilet paper roll, 
bullet a printer, 
bullet a piece of paper, 
bullet some crayons, 
bullet scissors,
bulletglue

Instructions:

bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
  
bulletColour (as required) and cut out the template pieces. 
  
bulletGlue the large rectangle on the tp roll (red and white stripes at the top... blue half at the bottom). 
  
bulletGlue on the overall top. 
  
bulletGlue on the head, arms and feet.
  
bulletGlue the puppy by the boy's feet, the snail in one hand and the baseball bat in the other.

Templates:
