Binoculars - a great gift

from 1 year 6 months to 3 years

Make a pair of binoculars together with your kid. A sweet handmade art project is the perfect gift for dad, grandpa or siblings, especially on their birthdays. 

To start, you'll need the following materials:


  • Two cardboard toilet paper rolls;
  • Cardboard;
  • Scissors;
  • Glue (Stapler);
  • Rope;
  • Gouache, a brush, and a jar of water.

1. Using a few pieces of cardboard, staple the two toilet paper tubes together, so that they look like a pair of binoculars.

2. On the sides of the tubes, make holes and insert a string so that the binoculars can be worn around your neck.

4. When the green paint dries, paint some brown and black spots on top to make a camouflage pattern. 

Once that dries, our binoculars are ready!
