Description
An exciting DIY craft project for kids to create Sonic the Hedgehog characters using toilet paper rolls. This fun activity promotes creativity and recycling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 empty toilet paper roll
- Blue acrylic paint
- White and black construction paper
- Glue stick or liquid glue
- Scissors
- Brush or sponge for painting
- Optional: Googly eyes, markers for additional decoration
Instructions
- Start with a clean, empty toilet paper roll, ensuring it’s without any remaining cardboard or residue.
- Using the blue acrylic paint, apply a generous coat over the entire roll. Use a brush or sponge for smooth coverage. Set aside to dry completely — this should take about 20-30 minutes.
- While the roll dries, cut out Sonic’s eyes, mouth, and spikes from the white and black construction paper. For the eyes, cut two ovals from white paper and smaller black circles for pupils. Cut a zigzag shape from the blue paper for Sonic’s spikes.
- Once the roll is dry, glue the eyes and mouth onto the front of the roll. Attach the black pupils on the white eyes. Finally, glue the zigzag paper spikes to the top of the roll.
- If desired, glue on googly eyes for a fun twist. Use markers to add additional details like shadows or racing lines.
Notes
Experiment with different colors and textures to create various characters. Always opt for non-toxic or washable paints for children’s crafts.
