Donald Trump Toilet Paper Roll Craft
In November 2016, Donald Trump was elected as the 45th president of the United States. At 70 years old, he was the oldest person ever to be elected as US president at the time.
Trump's inauguration was Jan 20, 2017. Every presidential inauguration occurs on Jan 20th of the year after they win the election.
This is a great craft to make for a President's Day or US history theme.
Materials:
- toilet paper roll or cardboard tube,
- printer,
- something to color with,
- scissors,
- glue,
- paper
Instructions:
- Print out the template you would like to use -- either black and white or color.
- Color in the template pieces. I made the outfit a "white tuxedo" just to save a little ink (all black templates get a bit too inky). You're welcome to color in the white tux to turn it into a black one.
- Cut out the template pieces. This may require an adult's assistance for some of the more challenging pieces. The large rectangle is easy for young children learning to use scissors.
- Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
- Glue on the head at the top of the toilet paper roll so it fits in the V shape of the tuxedo.
- Glue the bowtie below the head.
- Glue the arms on the side of the body.
- Glue the feet onto the bottom of the toilet paper roll, using the tabs to give them a 3D effect (fold the tabs and glue so the feet stick out from the toilet paper roll).
- Glue the buttons onto the jacket.
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).
