Supplies
- Toilet paper roll
- White card stock
- Colored card stock (in brown and orange)
- Googly eyes
- Black pom pom
- Scissors
- Olaf craft template (unlock the image at the end of the post to go to the download page)
Directions
Start by downloading the Olaf craft template, printing it, and cutting out the pieces.
Wrap the Olaf paper around a toilet paper roll, then glue it in place. A glue stick works best here to keep things smooth and avoid the lumps liquid glue can leave behind.
Want to make it extra special? Glue three tiny black pom-poms onto Olaf’s body to give him some “coal” buttons.
Now for Olaf’s hair! Cut three small strips of brown cardstock to make his stick hair, then glue them to the inside top of the toilet paper roll.
That’s all you need to do to make this recycled Olaf craft!
Your kids will flip when they make their own Olaf paper roll. This simple Frozen 2 craft idea will get them even more excited to see the new movie!

Making This Olaf Craft With Young Children
We always want to make your life as Mom easier, so we’ve got some great tips to helping you adapt this craft to all the kids in your home!
If you have a toddler, we recommend having the Olaf paper roll template already cut and ready to go. Then, your toddler can put the glue on the back and help secure it to the toilet paper roll. They’ll also need the stick hair precut to help glue.

This way will allow them to participate, but they won’t need to have developed the fine motor skills necessary to glue the small pieces into place.

Older children, like preschool and kindergarten kids, can do this craft with minimal help. They may need the pieces precut if their scissors skills aren’t yet at the level needed to cut out the pieces.
Once ready, they can glue them in place and complete their own simple Olaf!

Hi! I just checked your email and it’s listed as “unconfirmed” which means you didn’t click the link in the first email. If you didn’t see it, my best guess is it landed in your junk folder. If you can check that folder for my email (sam@simpleeverydaymom.com) and click the link, you’ll be set ◡̈
