- tissue paper
- One black pipe cleaner
- Two googly eyes
- Glue
- Foam brush

Instructions:
Cut a strip of tissue paper long enough to circle the toilet paper tube. Leave the width a little longer than the tube for tucking.

Apply two drops of glue to the top front of the tp tube and attach googly eyes.
Draw a mouth on with the marker.
