Let’s make a house from toilet paper rolls
Why do we post this idea so early? Because you need time to gather enough empty toilet paper rolls to make this lovely Christmas village:)
If you want to cut a door… but yo cannot, you can leave it uncut. Bot ways the house stays nice and stable.
You need an empty toilet paper roll, an A5 size sheet (half of a standard sheet for printing) and glue for paper.
Fold where shown to cut a square for the roof. The remainder use to roll a chimney.
It looks like a rocket science at the pictures, but actually the folding and the making of the roof is a piece of cake:)
When you are ready with the rolling of the chimney stick it on the roof.
The house itself is made via two bends and a slight folding to near the two ends..
Now you have enough flat space to slip on and glue the roof.

Wonderful work and is very simple automated implementation with my kids in kindergarten
Please publish more of these works
Thank you
I really loved thoses little houses. Thank you for sharing your ideas !
I made a whole village with them for my children’s advent calendar this year. I also made a few of your trees, some deers and Santa, of course. You can have a look here :

Thank you so much for your marvellous ideas! They are so many and cute and brilliant that I don’t know what to choose. I posted an article about your work in my site http://blogs.sch.gr/lstavrakara/ and I’m sure a lot of fellow teachers will find it helpful. I am looking forward to creating some of your crafts in class. I’ll let you know. Merry Christmas!
Loved these, as a girl guide leader we are always looking for recycled crafts that the girls can do on their own. I’m thinking for my Sparks (5 & 6), prefolding the roof and we are ready to go With adult supervision/help they could even fold the roof. Thank for this, they are so cute and all together make a gorgeous “in my neighbour hood” display.
Perfect!!!
I’m thinking about doing this project for 1st graders and I was wondering how much you did and how much the kids did. Thank you! I love this idea!
