7. Toilet Paper Roll Monsters
Unleash your toddler’s imagination with toilet paper roll monsters. This open-ended craft has no rules, making it the perfect outlet for creative expression. Toddlers can experiment with different colors, textures, and facial features to create a whole family of silly, colorful monsters. It is a wonderful way to build fine motor skills through gluing, painting, and sticking.
Provide your toddler with empty toilet paper rolls painted in various bright colors. Set out a tray of craft supplies such as colorful feathers, pompoms, yarn, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. Let your child dip these items in non-toxic glue and decorate their cardboard tubes however they like. Some monsters might have ten eyes, while others might have long yarn hair or fuzzy pipe cleaner arms. The possibilities are endless.
