Make Toilet Roll Puppets

Use your imagination and turn some toilet rolls into puppets. What kind of creature or person can you create? Maybe you could even build a theatre and put on a play.

You’ll need:

toilet rolls (tip: if you’re out of toilet rolls just roll paper into a tube)
glue or tape
coloured paper – if you don’t have coloured paper just use pencils to add colour
decorations like string, buttons, or pipe cleaners
textas, pencils, or crayons
scissors.

Step 1

Grab a toilet roll or roll up a piece of paper to make a tube. Give your puppet some hair. You can do this by cutting the toilet roll directly or by sticking on some string, paper, or other decorations.

Step 2

It’s time to get your puppet dressed. Wrap the bottom half of your toilet roll in coloured paper. Why not draw on a cool design?

Step 3

Your puppet needs some arms and legs. Attach a pipe cleaner to the back of your toilet roll to make the arms, and one at the bottom to make the legs. You can also try this out with paper.
