TP Roll Peg + Cat

Young fans of Peg + Cat on PBS KIDS will love making their favorite energetic friends from simple everyday materials from around the house.

Materials:

Peg:

• toilet paper rolls
• strips of colored paper, just long enough to go all around the paper tube
• red tissue/crepe paper
• orange yarn
• small red pom pom
• glue gun
• black marker

Cat:

• two toilet paper tubes
• blue paint
• white paint
• black marker
• glue
• scissors

Instructions

Peg:

1. Glue the green and blue craft paper around the center of the toilet paper tube.
2. Cut the orange yarn into small strips and glue them around the top of the toilet paper tube for Peg’s hair. Draw on her buttons with the black marker.
3. Glue the red tissue paper around the top of the paper tube for Peg’s hat. Draw black lines around the hat, just like Peg’s. Gather the tissue together at the top, keeping it together with a drop of glue from the glue gun. Finish the hat off with a fluffy pom pom.
4. Finally, draw Peg’s eyes and smile with your black marker.

 

Cat:



1. Fold down the top of the toilet paper tube as shown to create cat’s ears. Then paint the roll with the blue paint
2. From the second toilet paper tube, draw Cat’s tail. Cut it out and paint it navy with a white circle tip.
3. Glue the tail to the back of cat’s body and paint on the face with the white paint. When dry draw two little black dots for the eyes.
