Spring Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

These Spring Toilet Paper Roll Crafts are such a fun craft to keep the kids busy and to celebrate the warmer weather springtime and summer brings. 

Spring Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

One of my first posts on my blog was a simple and easy Bumblebee Toilet Paper Roll.  It’s actually still live if you want to check out the hideous pictures LOL.  I originally posted them in 2013 so I say it’s about time they got the upgrade they deserve, along with some other friendly springtime critters.  While I love crafting with paint, I enjoy crafting with paper just as much! Paper is readily available in lots of colors and is a less mess approach to making these friendly critters than paint. However, you can certainly use paint as your base for toilet paper crafts.  Each paper roll craft version is simple and fun, you can make all three or just choose your favorite!
