Recycling isnt only good for our planet but it also leads to a great resource of craft materials.
Take paper rolls, for instance.
Today were using one to create our friend Finley.
Start by painting your paper roll ivory.
This is a fascinating experiment for little ones as well as a lesson on mixing colors.
This will keep them busy and entertained while waiting for the paint on the paper roll to dry completely.
Draw a circle on yellow cardstock paper and another circle on brown cardstock paper and cut them out.
Draw a cross in the middle of each circle and cut both circles into quarters.
Recreate a circle by alternating the colors and glue it to the middle of the paper roll.
The last step is to poke two little holes about half an inch underneath each pom pom.
Thread the pipe cleaner through these holes and cut it at the desired length.
Kids will have so much fun moving around Finleys arms.
