Vulture: Toilet paper tube crafts

V is for vulture!

Here’s what you need to make the toilet paper roll vulture:

• 1 toilet paper roll
• Scissors
• Single hole punch
• Pencil
• Sharpie marker
• Glue
• White scrap paper
• Cereal box

To start, cut your toilet paper roll in half. Then, grab your empty cereal box and doodle on the vultures head. Remember, erasers are your friend! Once you like the shape, outline it with black marker and cut it out! Set it to the side, and use the pencil to mark the vultures neck on the toilet paper tube. Outline it with a black marker and cut it out. Be sure the leave it attached at the top so that it sticks off the neck.

If you want your vulture to have 2 wings, consider making the wings smaller or attaching another peice of cereal box. My vulture only has the one wing you see in the picture. There is just not enough toilet paper tube to make two large wings!

And now for a few fun facts about vultures:

• Vultures are known as natures garbage men, they eat animals that have died in the wild.
• Vultures have really strong immune systems so they don’t get sick from eating rotten meat.
• They live on every continent except Australia and Antartica.
• Most vultures have a bald head.
