Did you finally go through all of that toilet paper you hoarded? And now you have a bunch of toilet paper rolls just waiting to become crafts!

Even if you didn’t hoard toilet paper, you probably don’t have to work hard to gather toilet paper rolls and recycle them into kids crafts.

Here are a bunch of ideas of what to do with them.

Your toddler, preschooler, or older kids will love using them to make fun crafts.

Craft supplies you might need:

Toilet paper rolls (you can find these in your bathroom!)

Crayons or markers

Tempera paint

Glue or tape

Kid scissors

Popscicle sticks

Paper plates

Construction paper

Googly eyes

Pipe cleaners

Stickers

You won’t need all of these for every craft, but they’re really handy to have for when your kids randomly decide to be crafty.

We keep a supply of these types of basic craft items because my 4 year old (almost 5) loves to make things.

Don’t forget your child can freestyle craft

One thing parents forget is that their kids don’t always need instructions to make art.

The process of making a craft is what they like the most.

So let them freestyle. It’s the most hands off approach to crafting.

Just set out some toilet paper rolls and some craft supplies and see what they create.

And if they like structure, you can always have an end goal in mind like the ideas below.
