How to Make a Man Out of Toilet Paper Rolls
Everyday objects make excellent craft items. Kids are especially good at turning trash into treasure, and toilet paper rolls are no exception. Save your used toilet paper rolls and make a whole family of toilet-roll people.

Cut out arm shapes in the middle section of the tube on either side. Pull the arms out from the main body.

Cut a V shape on either side of the roll between the 2 arms in the bottom section of the toilet paper roll. This will make the legs.

I did this project and it was great! I tried to leave an "I Did This" with my photos, but I am not sure if they are showing up for other people or not.
