Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Crafts For Kids

Are you ready to embark on a spooktacular crafting adventure with your little ones? Look no further because we’ve got the perfect Halloween craft idea that is made by recycling toilet paper rolls!

In this DIY project, we’re going to show you how to transform ordinary toilet paper rolls into cute little Halloween freaks. Why not use budget-friendly DIY Halloween decorations that your kids made. With a bit of imagination and a few simple materials, you can create everything from bats to witches, pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, and even the iconic Dracula or your own little monster creation.


Step 1: Gather Your Materials 📦✂️

Gather your supplies. You’ll need empty toilet paper rolls, colorful construction paper, paint, child-safe glue, and safety scissors. Lay out your materials on a clean and flat surface.

Remember, there are no strict rules in art; let your little ones’ imaginations run wild.

Step 2: Let the Creativity Begin! 🎨

Now comes the fun part! Start by wrapping the toilet paper rolls in dark construction paper, creating the base for your Halloween characters. Use glue to secure the paper in place. If you prefer you can paint the toilet paper roll instead but make sure to allow time for the paint to dry before going on to the next step. Encourage your kids to experiment with colors, making each creation unique.

Step 3: Add Spooky Details 🦇✨

Once the rolls are wrapped or painted, it’s time to add the spooky details that will bring your Halloween characters to life! Cut out eyes, noses, fangs, and hats from construction paper, and watch as your child’s characters gain personality. Glue these pieces onto the wrapped rolls to create faces for your bats, Frankenstein, witches, black cats, pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, and Draculas.

Step 4: Display Your Masterpieces 🎃

Arrange your spooky characters on windowsills, and mantels, or create a Halloween-themed centerpiece for your dining table. These handmade decorations will not only add a cute touch to your home but also serve as a reminder of the creativity and imagination that went into making them.

Step 5: Share the Fun! 🤗👻

Don’t forget to share your Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Crafts for Kids with friends and family! Whether you host a crafting party or simply showcase your little ones’ creations on social media, spreading the joy of DIY Halloween crafts is a fantastic way to inspire others to get creative. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity to bond with your kids over shared artistic endeavors.


So, what are you waiting for? Grab those toilet paper rolls, construction paper, glue, and scissors, and embark on a Halloween crafting adventure. Let your child’s creativity soar as they bring their favorite Halloween characters to life, one toilet paper roll at a time. Happy crafting.
