What you will need:
Toilet Rolls
Coloured String or Twine
Glue
Double Sided Tape
Decorative Paper
Washi Tape
Stickers
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Method:
1. Cut decorative paper to size for the toilet rolls. Use a ruler and pencil to measure, before cutting to size with scissors.
2. Put double sided tape along the decorative paper.
3. Wrap the decorative paper around the toilet rolls.
4. Decorate with washi tape or stickers before assembling.
5. Time to assemble! Place a strip of double side tape along one side of the toilet roll. We recommend placing the strip along the seam where the paper overlaps.
6. Stick the two toilet rolls together to make binoculars.
7. Poke holes using a pencil or craft knife (Get an adult to do this) at the top of the binoculars.
8. Add twine or string to either side of the toilet rolls, so the binoculars can be worn around the neck. Now you are ready to explore!
