Little Miss Muffet Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Little Miss Muffet is an easy color, cut and paste craft for children to uses a toilet paper roll as a base to give it a three dimensional effect.
 

Materials:

• 2 toilet paper rolls
• glue
• scissors
• something to color with (if using the B&W template)
• paper (I prefer construction paper).

Instructions:

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color the pieces if using the B&W version.  Give the kids the chance to be creative and let them use their favorite tools -- colored pencils, crayons, markers, pastels or paints.  Whatever inspires them today.
• Carefully cut out the craft templates.  This may require some adult assistance for some of the tougher pieces.
• Glue the large rectangular piece around the toilet paper tube.
• Glue on the arms and the head.
• Glue the feet onto the bottom of the toilet paper roll, bending the tabs to make a 3D effect.
• Glue the bowl and the spoon into the hands
   
  
• Cover the second toilet paper roll with the smaller rectangle.  (this is the tuffet)
  • cut off the excess toilet paper roll (it will be about 2/3 the original height)
      
    
• Cut off the back of Miss Muffet's dress (you'll see the piece in the template that says cut out)
• Set Miss Muffet on the tuffet --- tape her on.  (OPTIONAL:  instead of tape, you can make a short slit on either side of Miss Muffet so she'll slide onto the tuffet and won't fall off)
• Glue the spider at Miss Muffet's feet.
