Crafts for children from rolls of toilet paper
Everyone has toilet paper at home, and ifaccumulate a number of rolls from it, then you can make very interesting crafts with children! I want to share with you ideas - what can be made from rolls. 1). The first thing I would like to tell you about is how to make a kaleidoscope with your own hands. This wonderful toy will please any child, because there is something mysterious and unusual in it!WE WILL NEED:Plastic mirror (like the kind you find in children's toys) Utility knife Metal ruler Multi-colored beads Scotch tape Pieces of clear or translucent plastic, such as the bottom of a yogurt can Toilet paper or paper towel rolls Wrapping paper HOW TO MAKE IT: Cut 3 pieces of mirror, about 0.8*D wide, where D is the diameter of the roll, and 2 cm shorter than the length of the roll.
Connect three strips of mirror into a prism and glue them together with tape.
Insert the prism into the tube, leaving 1 cm at both ends.
Insert a transparent plastic circle into one end, place beads on it, and cover it with a translucent circle on top. Seal with tape.
The other end of the tube is covered with cardboard with an opening in the middle.
Wrap it in beautiful paper and our wonderful kaleidoscope is ready!

WE WILL NEED:15 toilet paper rolls Scotch tape Glue Scissors Wrapping paper and stickers with images of planets and stars. HOW TO MAKE IT: Connect and glue 5 rolls into one tube - this is the main upper part of the telescope, and in the same way make its legs (each of 3 rolls). Install the telescope on a tripod (with tape) and cut the legs so that they stand evenly on a flat surface. Decorate with wrapping paper. Think about what you would like to see through your telescope and make replaceable caps, for example, like the one in the photo.
It remains to look and see the space object.
3). I also want to suggest you make a space rocket from toilet paper rolls.
For this we will need 7 rolls and a piece of cardboard. First, prepare 5 cones, as shown in the photo:
We make one long tube - this is the rocket itself. Follow the photo instructions and you will succeed. Children will really like this DIY toy!
If you and your children want to do moresomething cosmic, I suggest you look at another interesting craft on the theme of "space". Here are more ideas for crafts from rolls: Wonderful fish. Other crafts on the marine theme.
