Make your own pretend binoculars . . .
step-by-step
step-by-step
Start by getting out these things:
- two empty toilet paper tubes
- colored paper (any kind!)
- a pencil
- crayons (optional)
- scissors
-scotch tape
- masking tape
- yarn or string
- a hole punch
- two empty toilet paper tubes
- colored paper (any kind!)
- a pencil
- crayons (optional)
- scissors
-scotch tape
- masking tape
- yarn or string
- a hole punch
Lay your toilet paper tube on the paper and use your pencil to measure it. Do this for both empty tubes.
You could also choose to color your rolls with crayons instead!
Cut the paper and roll it
around the toilet paper tube.
Glue or tape it in place.
I used scotch tape.
Connect the two rolls using masking tape. Scotch tape might work but the masking tape is stronger!
If you have decorative tape like washi tape - that would also do the job.
You can either color the tape to make it look nice - or you can cover it with a contrasting colored paper.
That's what I did!
Be creative... you decide!
Finally, use your hole punch to make a hole in each side of the binoculars.
Then tie your string to each side. Hooray! You have your very own pretend binoculars :)
