Multicolor Binoculars

Difficulty: Easy

Parental supervision is recommended

Turn two rolls of cardboard into magical multicolor binoculars. A fun Columbus Day craft that kids will love to build and explore with--just like Dora!

What you'll need:

  • 2 empty toilet paper rolls for each child
  • 2 rubber bands for each child
  • Colored plastic wrap cut into squares about 4 x 4 inches (adjust as needed)
  • Optional: hole punch, yarn and scissors to make a neck strap

How to make it:

  1. Take an empty roll and place a colored square evenly over one end of the roll.
  2. While holding it in place, put a rubber band over it to secure it.
  3. Repeat with the other roll and square
  4. Watch in delight as the kid's explore their world in blue, pink, etc.
  5. Option: create a neck strap by punching a hole on each outside edge of the binoculars. Cut a length of yarn (to size for the child) insert each end into the hole and tie a thick knot to hold the yarn in place.

Tips:

To dress up the "binoculars", you can decorate them with markers before adding the wrap.
