Mummy and Pumpkin Toilet Roll Craft

Two Halloween characters from one craft: a dryer-sheet mummy and a paper-wrapped jack-o-lantern.

🧒 Ages 3-5, 6-8⏱ 25 min🦄 Imaginary creatures

How to do it

  1. 1

    For the mummy: glue dryer sheet strips around a toilet paper roll, then add wiggly eyes.

  2. 2

    For the pumpkin: wrap the roll in orange paper and glue on cut-out black paper eyes and mouth.

Tips & extensions

Tissue paper works in place of dryer sheets. Paint the pumpkin instead of using orange paper if you'd rather.
