Now I wish I had kept all thevtoilrt rolls
What a great idea

These are so adorable we created them as a mobile for the bedroom.

You could also make this a spider by using pipe cleaners for the legs and bending them to shape

Brilliant – we go through so many toilet rolls and I thought they should have another life

Too easy, what a great idea. thanks for sharing

I just did this craft with my son – so easy!

Threading is a good skill for kids to learn

Octopus, spider, creepy crawly, just let their imagination run wild. Thanks for the idea.

  I like the spider idea thanks

I so love good ideas that incorporate recycling. Gotta love how inventive people are when it comes to using toilet rolls. Thanks for sharing.

It is so rewarding to make these projects with young children.

This is cool and you can make all sorts of animal and sea creatures with toilet rolls to have fun playing with them altogether.

Such a great idea. My kids love making there octopuses. Kept them entertained all day. Thank you

What a great idea to use up some old toilet rolls! Thanks for the idea!

    I always save our toilet rolls for craft like this

My son would love this!

A wonderful idea. We made these into jelly fish with multiple tenticles. We then cut the bottom of the painted rolls up about 1/4 of the way into 8 legs, and curled them around a wooden spoon to make an alternate octopus design.

So easy. All items easily found in most homes. Great school holiday activity for the younger ones

Another amazing idea that is simple and fun. Love it!

What great fun. Very clever idea.

That was fun. We didn’t have any paint so we wrapped coloured paper around. We did two small ones and she had a great plan of making some BIG ones. Next she wants star fish and fish to go with them???

My son and daughter will absolutely love to make this Octopus it looks so great! Also looks easy to make which is a bonus for me.
