Place the toilet rolls parallel to each other, making sure that both rolls are the same length. Then, use the stapler or hot glue to attach the toilet rolls together.
Paint the Binoculars
Time for your kids to paint!
Set up a craft table for them by lining up the table with some newspaper scratch papers. That way, they won’t leave a mess when they’re painting.
Gather the art materials and start painting with your kids. In this sample, red was painted as the base color of the binoculars. Then it was sprinkled by flicking the brush with various colors of mixed paint.
Finishing Touches
The binoculars are now finished!
Attach a string on both sides and then tie it together in a loop. That way you can hang the binoculars around your neck.
