Today, we’ll be learning how to make an adorable duck using an everyday item – a toilet paper roll. Get your art supplies ready and let’s dive into this step-by-step guide on creating your very own toilet paper roll duck!
What You Will Need
- Empty toilet paper roll
- Yellow or orange marker
- Yellow construction paper
- Orange construction paper
- Glue
- Googly eyes (or small black circular stickers)
- Colored markers or crayons
Step 1: Preparing the Toilet Paper Roll
The first step is to get your toilet paper roll ready. Take the empty roll and grab your yellow or orange marker. Use the marker to color the entire outside surface of the roll. This will be the body of our duck, so make sure you cover it evenly. If you like, you can also use glue to attach yellow or orange construction paper around the roll for a smoother finish.
Step 2: Duck Feet and Bill
Now, let’s make some duck feet and a bill. Take your yellow construction paper and trace the shape of two duck feet – one for each side. Carefully cut them out. To create the bill, trace a small triangle shape on the orange construction paper and cut it out as well.
Step 3: Attaching the Feet and Bill
Time to attach the feet and bill to your duck. Take the two cut-out duck feet and apply some glue to their backside. Place them on the bottom edge of the toilet paper roll, near one end. Make sure they stick out like a pair of little webbed feet. Then, do the same with the small triangle-shaped bill. Stick it onto the opposite end of the roll. Press gently to ensure everything sticks together nicely.
Step 4: Eyes and Beak Details
Let’s give our duck a face! If you have googly eyes, stick them on the front of your duck’s face, just above the bill. If you don’t have googly eyes, no worries! You can use small black circular stickers or simply draw eyes with a black marker.
To make the beak stand out, draw an upside-down “V” shape below the eyes using an orange marker. This will make your duck look extra cute!
Step 5: Feather Details and Wing
Time to add some feather details to our duck. Take your yellow or orange marker and draw several lines extending from the bottom of the toilet paper roll towards the middle. These lines will represent the feathers on your duck’s body. Make sure to spread them out and have fun with it!
To create a wing, draw an elongated teardrop shape on your yellow construction paper. Cut it out carefully and then glue it to the side of your duck’s body. This will make your duck look like it’s ready to take flight!
Step 6: Personalize Your Duck
Your duck is almost ready, but let’s make it unique! Grab your colored markers or crayons and use them to create additional designs on the body and wings. You can add dots, stripes, or any other patterns you like. Let your creativity soar and make your duck as colorful and special as you want!
Step 7: Display and Play!
Congratulations, you did it! Your toilet paper roll duck is complete and ready to be displayed. Find a special spot for your new feathered friend, whether it’s on your desk, a shelf, or in your room. Let your imagination take flight and make your duck a character in your pretend play adventures. Quack and waddle around with your new creation – have a blast!
Remember, crafting is all about having fun and expressing yourself. So, gather your materials, follow the steps, and let your imagination soar as you create your very own toilet paper roll duck. Happy crafting, my feathered friends!
