Cardboard Binoculars

Summertime is a great time to be outdoors! Help your child get in the spirit of exploration with these fun cardboard binoculars.

Materials:

• 2 toilet paper rolls, or 1 paper towel roll cut in half
• Paints, markers or crayons
• Glue
• Yarn
• Hole punch
• Stickers or other decorations

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.
• String the yarn through the holes and tie a knot at the end to secure it.
• Add any stickers or embellishments desired to complete your binoculars

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