Paper Tube Farm Animals

 
Like always I am wandering/searching pinterest and a friend of mine had posted this as an idea for her daughters birthday party. I just thought that it may be cute to do with kids. 

Supplies:

Toilet paper/paper towel tubes

Pipe Cleaners

Paint (various colors)

*if you are making pigs you may also need a few buttons

I am going to walk you through the steps on how to make a cow because right now my son really thinks cows are just the best thing ever.
Steps:
1. Paint the toilet paper tube white (you may want to prep the tubes before doing this with young kids because the animals come out nicer when the paint is dry).

2. Use pink paint to create the area around the mouth
**Tip**(is you only have one paintbrush always start with the lightest color and work your way to the darker color as to not make the paint look dirty)
3. Use a black paint to create the spots, mouth, eyes and nose. (you can also use a black sharpie to get the same effect)
4. Use a pencil to wrap the pipe cleaners around for the legs repeat twice (this will give you the spiral effect as seen in the picture)
5.  Roll two more pipe cleaners to create the ears.
6. Hot glue gun them onto the tube.

Then you have your very own super cute cow.
