DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Swan Toilet Paper Roll Craft
contributed by Sierra

When we make crafts, we sometimes get a little imaginative with colours. Something about a gorgeous pink swan just makes me smile!
In real life, swans are either white or black when they're adults and a light grey colour when they're juvenilles. In our imaginations, they can be any colour we like!
Materials:
- 1 toilet paper roll /swan
- Paint (I used pink, yellow, and orange)
- Glue or tape
- Black marker
- Scissors
Instructions:
First, like the picture shows cut out two vertical lines about 2/3 of the toilet paper roll.
Next, draw a diagonal line from one line to the other, connecting them in the middle. Then cut it out.
Once it is all cut out, cut a triangle shape from the neck.
Now paint it the colour of your choice, bend the neck forward slightly.
Add eyes and a beak.
With the extra cut out cardboard, cut out two leaf shapes (2 for each swan)
Paint the wings the colour of your swan.
Once they are dry you can glue or tape them the side of your swan.
That is all! You can set them by a window, or even put a fake candle inside of it!
