Instructions:

  • Let you child decorate the cardboard rolls however they like with crayons, paints or markers.
  • Glue the rolls together lengthwise (side by side)
  • Use the hole punch to make one hole on each sides.
  • Cut enough yarn so that the binoculars can hang around your neck like a necklace.

Then, take your new binoculars outside, discover new animals and have fun exploring!
