This is a good craft for your kids to make while you read the story.  OR, attach a popsicle stick to the toilet paper roll to make a Red Riding Hood puppet that they can use to turn the story into a puppet show!

Materials:

• toilet paper tube,
• a printer,
• a piece of paper,
• some crayons,
• scissors,
• glue

Thanks to Dora for sharing a photo of her finished crafts!

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.  If printing the black and white template, try printing on red construction paper.
• Color (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
• Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.  You may wish to trim the toilet paper roll down a little bit to get her proportions right.
• Glue on the head, arms, and cloak.
• Fold the tabs of the feet and glue to the inside of the toilet paper roll.

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, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
