Totally Grinch-tastic Toilet Paper Roll Grinch Craft

By Jen

make a toilet paper roll grinch craft

We have so much fun making toilet paper roll crafts...especially during the holidays. So, we decided that this year we had to add to our little family of toilet paper roll Christmas characters. In the past, we have made an elf, Santa and all of his reindeer and Rudolph. So, who were we missing? The Grinch, of course. make a toilet paper roll grinch craft

The Grinch is very much part of our family's Christmas traditions. We read How the Grinch Stole Christmas every Christmas Eve. The original Grinch movie is a must-watch Christmas movie and my kids love the newly animated Grinch movie, that stars Benedict Cumberbatch.

There's something about the Grinch being transformed by the true spirit of Christmas that makes me happy. I hope you have fun making this Grinch and playing with him during the holidays.

grinch green painted toilet paper rolls with bottle of paint Paint the entire toilet paper roll a grinchy green, I used DecoArt "sour apple" green. The Grinch doesn't really have any hair...so paint his whole "body" green. If you don't have any empty toilet paper rolls lying around, you can always purchase cardboard craft rolls.

Use the marker to draw on his face. Don't forget to add his strong brow line. Make it your own. Will he be the grumpy Grinch or the post-Christmas awakening, happy Grinch?

The Grinch joins our toilet paper roll Santa and our toilet paper roll reindeer in our Christmas decor. I love how he turned out. This would be a super fun Christmas classroom activity, Christmas party craft or simply fun to make at home with the kids.
