Adults Get Hooked! Craft Ideas Using Toilet Paper Rolls (41–50)
Frog figurine
During the rainy season, when we get a lot of rain, we also see frogs more often, don’t we? The way they hop around as if enjoying the rain brightens up the rainy season, which often has a gloomy image.
Here’s a craft using toilet paper rolls with a frog motif.
Just make cuts in the roll to create the frog’s legs, fold the back part, and then add color to finish.
Since it simply involves cutting and folding, it’s an easy project to try.
dice
Dice are also commonly used items in recreational games.
They’re essential for activities like sugoroku and The Game of Life, which many older adults enjoy.
This time, let’s make dice using toilet paper rolls.
Just cut slits in the rolls and fit the pieces together, and you’ll have them finished in no time! Don’t forget to draw the pips on the dice at the end.
Making dice not only helps train fine motor skills but is also expected to be effective for dementia prevention, so it’s highly recommended.
Decorative doll
Let’s make some cute little dolls using toilet paper rolls.
These decorative dolls are great because you can make them to match seasonal events.
What you’ll need: paper rolls, felt, double-sided tape, and more.
The key is to choose felt colors that suit the doll you’re making.
For example, for a snowman, use white felt and create the eyes and nose with felt as well.
Once it’s finished, be sure to display it by your entrance or in your room.
In addition to Christmas, we recommend adapting this craft for seasonal events like Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival), Setsubun, and Halloween.
Rocket
Rockets are magnificent vehicles that soar into space, aren’t they? And you can actually make one as a great item for recreational activities for seniors.
Combine ease of use with free creativity to complete a one-of-a-kind rocket.
It’s easy to make by cutting and gluing toilet paper rolls and adding color with construction paper and crayons.
It would also be lovely to enjoy playing with the rocket together when you see your grandchildren.
It’s amazing that such an impressive rocket can be made from a toilet paper roll—beyond what you’d imagine! Try making rockets in various designs and have fun with it.
smartphone speaker
How about making a speaker that boosts your smartphone’s sound using easily available items? First, cut a slit in a toilet paper roll so the phone’s speaker area can fit into it.
Then prepare two plastic cups, make holes in the side near the bottom, and insert the toilet paper roll through the holes to secure it—now it’s done.
By inserting the phone, with sound playing, into the slit, the sound resonates within the roll and cups, amplifying it.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced craft ideas for adults that use toilet paper rolls.
