Create Easter toilet roll creatures

Instead of throwing away the cardboard tube inside your toilet roll or kitchen roll, save it for this adorable craft.

Be as creative - or not - as you want and add eyes, beaks, and wings for the chicks or whiskers, a nose and ears for the bunnies.

All you need, are the cardboard toilet rolls, paint, googly eyes, coloured card for the beak, feet and ears and pipe cleaners for the bunny whiskers.
