OUR FAMILY
This is an easy preschooler-friendly craft! I got the idea from Amelia's preschool, where they made little Native American people in a similar way (just draw in bead necklaces and glue a feather on the back of the head). Tonight, we made our own little family.
Materials:
- Empty toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls cut in half
- Construction paper
- Glue Stick
- Scissors
- Markers
- Cut construction paper into strips about 2"-3" wide. For each person, you will need one paper strip for skin color, one for hair, one for shirt, and one for pants.
- For hair: Cut the strip short so it does not go all the way around the tube, then fringe the ends
- For shirt: Cut a notch in the middle to look like a neckline
- Use glue stick to glue on the skin color first. Glue the paper strip around the tube.
- Next, glue on the shirt with the notch underneath where you'd like the face to go.
- Then glue on the pants, underneath the shirt
- Glue on the hair last, leaving the open space for the face
- Use markers to add eyes, nose, mouth, buttons, etc.
- Optional: Get creative with jewels, real buttons, or fabric strips for more decoration!
That's it! An easy, fun and cute activity.
