20 Fun and Creative Toilet Paper Roll Crafts for Kids

I’m all about creative crafts for my girls and being frugal. These projects meet both of those requirements so start saving your toilet paper roll tubes! No need to throw them out when there’s so many fun things they can be turned into.

If your kids like to do crafts as much as mine do, toilet paper rolls are a perfect craft supply for them to use. It’s something everyone has in their home, it’s versatile, and upcycling items is great for not just the Earth, but for your wallet as well. Break out the paint, markers, crayons, and tissue paper — it’s time to create something fun!

Let your child explore their creativity and imagination as they make mermaids, butterflies, and a jungle setting. Many of the projects are more than just something cute to sit on the shelf – there are even toys the kids can make. They’ll have a blast making and playing with their very own binoculars, superhero cuffs, and trains. You’ll be surprised how much fun can be had with toilet paper rolls!
