DIY paper roll fish

During Summer Camps, I’ve always collected a mountain of recyclable materials with my colleagues to use for crafting activities with children: bottle caps, cardboard boxes, egg cartons, empty bottles, and so on.

But the recycling superstar is the toilet paper roll, which can transform into anything: binoculars, a boat, a spaceship, an octopus, a mermaid, Santa Claus, and much more.

In this article, you’ll learn how to make a simple craft project that’s perfect for summer: the fish!

To make your fish, you’ll need:

• A finished toilet paper roll.

• Scissors.

• Colored chalk or paint.

• Googly eyes.
