Mermaid Toilet Roll Crafts

Mermaid Toilet Roll Crafts 

To make the cute mermaids. 

• Toilet Roll Cores
• Coloured Paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers 
• Glitter
• Craft Paint
• Paint Brush

Paint your toilet paper tubes in peach, tan, or brown. (I didn’t have any of those colours, so I mixed together orange, green, and white to create a nice tan colour.) Once the paint is dry, draw on the face with a marker or stick on googly eyes. Cut out the hair, bra, skirt, and tail bits from brightly coloured construction paper. Use the markers and glitter to fun details. For the bra you can use fun shape sequins.  Shown below is idea for the hair etc. To curl the hair piece wrap it around a marker 

Have fun :)

Picture Bingo

Picture Bingo is a fun way to keep the children entertained, during walks or car trips.
