Hello everyone! I’ve planned to create a theme for all of the activities this week. The theme will be wildlife, so today’s creation is a pair of toilet roll tube binoculars! These are a great prop to watch the birds out your window, in your garden or on a walk!
What you will need:
- 2 toilet roll tubes
- glue stick
- string or ribbon
- paint, pens or stickers to decorate
- tape
1. First of all, if you want to decorate your binoculars do this now before we stick them together, I painted mine to add some colour, but you can decorate however you like!
2. If you have painted, let that dry. Now you can stick the two tubes together, side by side.
3. To add some extra support and decoration I added some decorative tape around the two tubes.
4. Finally, cut one piece of string long enough so that it will go over your head. Tape each end onto the side of the two tubes. (For very young children you can make them without the string to prevent any risk of danger from getting tangled up.)
5. Add any final details/decorations, and there you have it, a great pair of binoculars for bird watching!
Extra Suggestion:
- As well as watching the birds, you might enjoy listening out to their different calls so I have included this link which has all the different bird songs that you might hear.
