DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Pirate Toilet Paper Roll Craft

We're rather fond of pirates in our house.   Occasionally we even dress up like them -- it's a good costume for a daddy/daughter halloween duo!  

The pirate is a cute and simple color, cut and paste craft that uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional effect.

Materials:

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

Instructions:

• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Color (if using the black and white version of the craft) and cut out the template pieces.  I like to make the rectangle look like a red striped shirt with white pants.
• Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
• Glue the boots to the bottom of the toilet paper roll (we did it so it looked like the pirate was sitting down).
• Glue on the head and arms.
• Glue the curvy sword into one of the hands.

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 in most browsers).
