JANUARY 16TH, 2024
Today, we're diving into a fun craft project for kids that turns everyday items into a magical experience. Grab your creative spirit and a few simple materials—like a toilet paper roll, packing tape, Sharpie Markers, and a flashlight—and use them to create a DIY projector. Your projector will bring images to life on your wall! Whether you decide to add a splash of paint for a unique look or keep it simple, this project is bound to spark creativity. So, gather your supplies, find a dark room, and let the crafting begin!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Toilet paper roll
- Packing tape
- Sharpie Markers in different colors
- Paint (optional)
- Paintbrush or sponge (optional)
- Hopscotch Girls coloring page
- Scissors
- Flashlight
- Dark room
How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Projector:
Step 1: Start by painting your toilet paper roll. (This step is optional, but it provides an opportunity to express your inner creativity and give your projector a unique look.)
Step 2: Make two 5-inch strips of tape and tape them together so there is no sticky side. You want to make sure it’s long enough to tape onto your toilet paper roll.
Step 3: Use a Hopscotch Girls coloring page and a black Sharpie to trace an image in the middle of your strip of tape. This is the image that will project onto the wall. Make sure the image will fit inside the toilet paper roll and make any adjustments you may need to.
Step 4: Now use the colored Sharpies to add color to the images.
Step 5: Place an image over your toilet paper roll. Shine a flashlight through toward the wall and enjoy!
This is a fun activity for a rainy day or a cozy night! For extra creative fun, take turns telling stories about the images that appear on the wall.
