Make your own action figures!


One lazy summer afternoon my son decided to make some new action figure toys out of toilet paper roll tubes.  


He measured a piece of computer paper so it would fit the height and width of the roll.  Then he laid it out and drew and colored his favorite minion.  He then taped it to the toilet paper roll. 


Now he had a new action figure to play with.  He is now collecting paper roll tubes to make more characters.  If your children don’t want to draw their own characters you can use a coloring page of their favorite character instead.  Simply color and then cut out the character and tape it onto the roll so it will stand.
