Bald Eagle Toilet Paper Roll Craft

contributed by Leanne Guenther

Although this does make a great USA themed craft, it works for any bird and forest theme (we have bald eagles up here in Canada too).  I love the toilet paper roll crafts that have wings.

It would also work as a "Fish Eagle" craft.

Materials:

• toilet paper roll,
• printer,
• glue,
• scissors,
• something to color with,
• paper

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.
• Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
• Glue the tummy onto the front of the toilet paper roll.
• Glue  tail onto the back of the toilet paper roll.   I glued it to the inside back and then folded it upward.  I think it looks nice that way, but be creative!.
• Glue the head onto the front of the toilet paper roll.
• Glue the wings onto the back of the toilet paper roll to make it look like the eagle is flying.
• Fold the feet and glue the tabs to the inside of the tube.

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).
