DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Godzilla TP Roll Craft

Godzilla is a dinosaur-like Japanese monster.  There are loads of movies featuring him and it's a lot of fun watching the English translations of them with the kids (my girls love family movie night -- old Godzilla movies plus popcorn -- what could be better!?)

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft that's pretty much just your basic t-rex type dinosaur... but with a little imagination it works as Godzilla too!  It uses a toilet paper roll as a base to make it three dimensional. 

Materials:

  •  toilet paper roll, 
  • a 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.  
      
  • Glue on the head.
      
  • Glue the legs and arms onto the side of the toilet paper roll.
        
  • Fold the tail in half so it is coloured on both sides and use the tab to attach it to the back of the toilet paper roll (give it a 3D effect with the tabs)
      
  • Fold the scales in half so they are colored on both sides.  Attach them to the back using the tabs to give them a 3D effect.

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
