It’s time for some holiday fun for kids, and we couldn’t think of a better idea than making these cute Christmas toilet paper roll crafts!
They are super easy to make, especially if you use our printable templates, which you can get here or at the end of this post.
You’ll also be giving your recycled toilet paper rolls a second life while practicing cutting and constructions skills with your children. Plus, they are also great for encouraging creative play.
In this post, I’ll show you how to turn your toilet paper rolls into six different Christmas characters, including Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, the Grinch, an Elf, and a Gingerbread man.
First, I will tell you all the supplies required to complete these holiday crafts.
Then, you can find the instructions to make them, followed by a short video tutorial.
And in the end, you can just get your printables and start crafting.
I know your kids will just love this activity, so let’s make it!
Here are the supplies you need to make these crafts:
TIP: If you don’t have enough toilet paper rolls around, just print your templates on cardstock or heavy-weight paper and roll them into cylinders.
They should look like this:
To complete your Santa Claus, all you have to do is glue the hat on his head.

To make Mrs. Claus’ hair, you have to cut both white pieces and fold each one in half through the line.
Then, glue them in the middle and cut the tip to make it round.
Finally, glue the hair strands. One at each side of the face.
Finish by adding the hat.

For the reindeer, start by gluing the horns behind the head.
Then, add the ears on top of it.

Take the elf’s ears and fold them along the red dashed lines. Put glue on the white square and stick each ear on the sides of the face.
Finish the elf by gluing his hat on top of the yellow hair.

The Grinch is just as easy as our friend above.
All you have to do is glue the hat on his head and the hair on his chest (align it with the white band).

To make our gingerbread man, you don’t need to cover your toilet paper roll. Its natural brown color will work just fine.
Glue the head first and add the bow tie on top. Follow it by gluing the frosting at the bottom and sticking the buttons between the tie and the frosting.
Separate both hands by cutting them through the red dashed line. Fold each arm along the dark brown box and apply glue to it.
Finish by sticking each arm to one side of the paper roll.
