Winter’s all fun and cozy especially when we’re hanging out with the kids.  One fun thing to do this season is to introduce them to winter animals! 

This quick and easy toilet paper roll walrus craft is a fun way to start.

Crafting not only boosts your kids’ creativity but it also can help them with fine motor skills and following directions!

We’re giving you a free printable template for this activity to be all fun and no fuss! This craft is perfect for preschoolers, kindergarten, and elementary-aged children.

You can download the template in color or black and white version. Having both options makes it a craft that the whole family can do together!
