To begin, draw a large, cloud-like tree shape on green construction paper and cut it out. If you want to adapt the craft for autumn, try using orange or red paper to create a beautiful fall tree. Thicker construction paper works best because it keeps the tree shape firm and vibrant.


To make the tree more lively, children can add small red circles to represent apples. They can also design other fruits or decorate with fruit stickers. Adding small green stems gives the apples a realistic touch. If cutting and gluing small pieces feels challenging, children can draw the fruit directly onto the tree using crayons or markers. This flexibility makes the Toilet Paper Roll Tree Craft suitable for different age levels and skill abilities.

Next, wrap the toilet paper roll with brown paper to create the trunk. Cut small slits on both sides at the top of the roll. Insert the paper tree into the slits, and the tree will stand upright on its own. The strong cardboard roll provides stability, turning recycled material into a beautiful three-dimensional artwork.


This Toilet Paper Roll Tree Craft supports:

  • Environmental awareness and recycling habits

  • Fine motor skill development through cutting, wrapping, and assembling

  • Creativity and design choices with colors and decorations
