Toilet Paper Roll Train Craft

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

Whether your kids love trains or they just love crafts, they will have a lot of fun creating this toilet paper roll train craft. This train is made up of all recycled materials, which makes it an inexpensive craft idea.

MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE A TOILET PAPER ROLL TRAIN

• 6 Toilet Paper Roll Tubes
• 1 Skinny Cardboard Tube (I used the center of a roll of foil)
• 20 Lids (milk containers, Vitamin waters, Gatorade)
• Craft Paint
• Foam Brushes
• Yarn
• Hole Punch or Something to Make a Hole in the Cardboard Tube
• Hot Glue Gun
• Scissors

STEPS:

1. Paint your cardboard tubes various bright colors. Cut C-shapes out of one of the tubes to create both the top of the engine and caboose. Paint those accordingly. Also, cut a C-shape out of the skinny cardboard tube and paint it the same color as the engine. The C-Shape tubes will arch nicely around the toilet paper roll.

2. Once dry, hot glue the tops of the engine and caboose in place. Also, hot glue four plastic lids on each cardboard tube as the wheels of your train.

3. Punch small holes into the four “corners” of each tube. These are your attachment points for the yarn. Cut the yarn to length.

4. Weave the thread through one tube and another tube to attach two tubes together. Tie a knot. Continue the process until all of the cars of the train are connected.
