The Toilet Roll Craft Mania continues. Clearly we either have too many toilet rolls in our house! But we still adore crafting with them, as they are ever the thrifty craft material for kids. So. After our Toilet Roll Rudolph and our Toilet Roll Snowmen, we now have a Toilet Roll Santa to share. In fact this one is a “Nikolo” – the German Sankt Nikolaus who comes on the 6th November and brings the children gold coins, dried fruit and clementines. We fill ours each year with treats and the kids to find in the morning of the 6th November. Of course the Santa also makes a nice decoration too.
Toilet Roll Santa Materials:
Materials: loo roll, paint, cotton wool, a little skin colour felt or card, pen, tissue paper and string, googly eyes and pom pom (optional, you can colour these on too)
Toilet Roll Santa Craft:
1) First get the kids to paint the toilegt rolls for you. I love the “texture” you get when young kids paint!
2) Glue some tissue paper across the top of your toilet roll & then tie it with your string to shape it.
3) Start adding your details – cotton wool for the hat. Add your face and cotton wool beard and your googly eyes.
4) Don’t forget your pom pom nose!
All ready to fill! We get our Toilet Roll Santa out year on year!
