Every Christmas tree needs an angel ornament. Ideally one that’s recycled, homemade and created by kids! This lovely singing Toilet Paper Roll Angel Christmas Ornament will look glorious hanging from the tree and will be an absolute joy to make.
How to Make a Paper Toilet Roll Angel Christmas Ornament
With a little help, this is an easy Christmas craft to try with preschoolers and children in early years education. Older children will enjoy the challenge of making their angel ornaments independently.
Elements of the angel craft can be adapted to suit the age and number of children you’re crafting with (i.e. a group or classroom setting). For example, children may enjoy replacing the paper plate wings with paper handprints OR a doily.
