Toilet Paper Tube Crafts

I love creating crafts and activities with toilet paper or paper towel tubes! Making characters with them is a lot of fun for kids of all ages. In this craft I wanted to create a toilet paper tube craft that didn’t involve painting the tube so instead of painting you will be gluing tissue paper down on the tube.

Don’t worry if the tissue paper doesn’t cover the entire tube, this is especially true with toddlers! Adding colour to the tube this way is a bit less messy than paint especially for little ones but no less fun!
