Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Crafts For All Ages & Abilities

You don’t have to be a pro crafter or have strong scissor skills to do these crafts. There’s a lot little that kiddos can do to make a Halloween-themed craft with toilet paper rolls.

I went ahead and made some more “complex” crafts to show the variety of the possibilities. But if you have a young toddler, have them start with the easiest ones, like the mummy, ghost, or the monster.

The vampire, pumpkin, and Frankenstein require a little more detailed cutting. But, toddler parents, that’s where your adult scissor skills come in.

The bat and the witch are just one step past as they require a little more detail. But again, with a little teamwork, you and your kiddos can totally craft these Halloween cuties.

General Materials

Toilet Paper Rolls
Construction Paper of various colors
Scissors
Glue
Pencil
Ruler
Googly eyes
Halloween creature features printout (below)

Materials for Each Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Craft

Any craft can be adapted. For example, eyes can be made with googly eyes, drawn on, or with construction paper. The list below is just a suggestive way to make each of the Halloween creatures we made.

Mummy: googly eyes and white streamer paper
Ghost: white paper and creature features printout
Monster: any colored paper (ex: purple or green) and creature features printout
Vampire: white paper, googly eyes, and creature features printout
Pumpkin: orange paper and creature features printout
Frankenstein: construction paper (green & black), googly eyes, and creature features printout
Bat: black construction paper, marker or pen, and creature features printout
Witch: green construction paper, marker or pen, and creature features printout

How to Make Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

Step 1: Gather your supplies

Collect as many unused toilet paper rolls as you can. Mistakes might happen, cutting exploration might even happen. And if you’re like me, you want to do every possible variation.

Step 2: Decide which toilet paper craft to make

Depending on how comfortable you and your child are with making crafts like these, decide which one you want to start with.

I always like to start with the easiest one to get the hang of things. It also gives our kids that sense of pride and accomplishment when they get it right the first time. The easiest ones that we made are the mummy, ghost, and monster.

Step 3: Wrap your toilet paper roll in colored paper

After gathering your materials and coming up with the plan, you need to wrap your toilet paper roll in colored paper.

I measured and cut out a piece of approximately 4″x6″ paper for each Halloween toilet paper roll craft. The mummy was the only one I didn’t use construction paper for.

Step 4: Add identifying features

Next, add your creature’s identifying features with paper, markers, pens, or whatever you have. To save time on DIY’ing some of the features, I made a printout full of Halloween creature features options.

Which one is your favorite monster? Let us know in the comments!
