Easter Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

Toilet Paper Roll Easter Bunny

Printable template pieces cut from colored cardstock or construction paper come together to create a full-body wrap with legs, arms, and facial features glued in place. Tape secures the wrap around a toilet paper roll so the finished character stands up, and markers add the final face details.

Kids usually enjoy the “paper puzzle” feel of putting it together and choosing their own colors for the ears and outfit pieces.

Toilet Paper Roll Easter Bunny

Flattening one roll makes it easy to cut a simple silhouette, while a second roll provides long earpieces that glue to the inside of the head. White paint adds highlights on the ears and body, then black markers finish the face, and a cotton ball becomes a fluffy tail.

The soft tail detail is always a favorite, and the finished figure feels sturdy enough for play.

Toilet Roll Peeps

Pastel acrylic art paint transforms cardboard tubes into colorful characters, and a small beak cut from yellow cardstock adds a cute feature. After the paint dries, kids attach googly eyes (or small black buttons) and tuck a tuft of tissue paper into the top for texture.

The simple paint-and-decorate setup works especially well for toddlers and preschoolers who love bright colors and quick results.

Toilet Paper Roll Bunny

White paint gives the roll a clean base, then kids add cardstock ears with colored inner pieces and glue on small googly eyes. Twisted pipe cleaners create a fuzzy nose/whisker area, topped with a small pom‑pom nose, and a black Sharpie draws the mouth.

The mix of soft pom‑poms and bendy pipe cleaners makes decorating feel extra hands-on.

Chick Toilet Paper Roll

Kids wrap a toilet paper roll in yellow paper (or paint it), then cut simple wings and a small beak from orange paper, and add the eyes. For a second version, they cut a cracked eggshell from white cardstock and attached it around the bottom of the roll to create a fun “peek-out” look.

Using the same basic supplies to make two styles keeps the activity fresh, especially for kids who enjoy having options.

Toilet Paper Roll Chick

A cardboard tube becomes a bright little character when kids cut template parts from cardstock, glue on the belly and eyes, and fold the beak piece before attaching it. Tape wraps the body piece neatly around the roll, while markers add small details like eyebrows for extra personality.

The quick layering makes it satisfying for younger kids who want a finished project they can show off right away.

Paper Roll Bunny

Cut the paper roll into a tall shape with long ears to create the base; then add felt, googly eyes, and a black Sharpie to build a simple face. A pom‑pom tail gets glued on, and kids can customize the surface with paint, scrapbook paper, or fabric if they want extra flair.

Because it's mostly cutting and decorating, each one can look completely different, even with the same supply pile.

Easter Bunny Paper Rolls

A pencil sketch on the roll outlines the ears and head shape, then scissors trim it into a cute standing form before acrylic paint adds bright color. Cardstock inner-ear pieces attach with double-sided tape, and simple facial features get painted on with black paint and a small brush.

Wrapping the base with colorful cardstock “outfits” and gluing on a white pom‑pom tail makes the decorating feel like dress-up.

Toilet Paper Rolls Sheep

Two cardboard tubes form the project base—one gets cut and pinched into a face shape and painted, while the other becomes the body. Masking tape (or glue) secures four small sticks as legs, then cotton wool gets pressed into the glue all around for a wonderfully fluffy texture.

Kids love the tactile “stick on the fluff” step, and the finished creation is fun to line up as a little herd.

Paper Roll Chick

Yellow paint turns a toilet paper roll into the body, and then the roll gets cut into pieces that become the head and wings before being glued back together.

Orange construction paper forms a small beak and heart-shaped feet, and googly eyes finish the face (adult help is handy if you're using a hot glue gun). The “cut it apart, then rebuild it” twist feels like art and engineering at once.

Sheep Toilet Paper Roll

Cut-and-glue template pieces build the face first, then the body wrap gets taped around a toilet paper roll to form the base. Folding the legs on the dashed lines helps them stand out, and a fluffy headpiece adds texture to the top before the face is attached.

Kids love how the layered paper “fur” comes together fast, especially when they make a whole group.

Toilet Roll Chocolate Easter Bunny

Brown paint transforms cardboard tubes into candy-like treats, and kids glue painted sticks inside the roll to create tall ears (use a low-heat glue gun with supervision). Buttons turn into “candy” eyes and noses, while a cotton-ball tail and ribbon bow tie add playful texture.

Kids love that it looks like a sweet treat, even though you make it from simple recyclables.

Toilet Roll Bunnies

Kids squash a cardboard tube flat, trace the printable template, and cut out a single shape that pops back into a 3D standing figure. Folding the head and tail down while pushing out the hind legs creates the pose, then glue holds on the ears and paws before paint or markers add details.

The “squash, cut, and pop” moment is usually the highlight, especially for kids who like arts with a little magic trick built in.

Bunny Rabbit Toilet Paper Roll

Pink paper wraps around a toilet paper roll for the body, and skinny earpieces cut from a second roll are covered with paper and taped together. Googly eyes and a black Sharpie create the face, while paper hearts turn into a cute nose and a green bow tie.

It's quick, colorful, and simple enough that kids can make a whole set with different expressions.

Toilet Paper Roll Bunnies

A few folds shape the roll into a sturdier body by creating “W” edges on both sides, then kids cut ears, arms, and legs from another roll. Markers add paws and facial features, and glue holds everything in place or keeps it standing up for play.

With no paint required, it's easy to make multiple and give each character a different look.

Toilet Paper Roll Bunny

Yarn wraps around a toilet paper roll after a few starter slits are cut, creating a soft, textured body that feels different from plain paper arts. Pink and brown cardstock shapes build the face and ears, finished with googly eyes and marker details (tape is optional for securing the yarn).

Kids usually love the wrapping step because it's hands-on and makes the finished character feel extra “fuzzy.”
