Raccoon: Toilet paper tube crafts

March 15, 2016 By Jamie Dorobek Leave a Comment

R is for raccoon! I remember being scared to death by raccoons when I was little. They would come right up to our backdoor and eat the cat food! I quickly learned that it was worth the extra 10 seconds to turn on the light and peek out the window before opening that door.

The toilet paper roll raccoon is pretty simple:

  • 1 toilet paper roll
  • Scissors
  • Single hole punch
  • Pencil
  • Sharpie marker
  • Glue
  • White scrap paper
  • Cereal box

First, cut the top 1/2 of the toilet paper roll off. Save that half, you can use it to make more creatures! Now, it’s time to make the raccoons head. I decided to include a super simple picture of how easy this head is to draw! Clearly, I’m no artist! First, draw a horizontal oval with a pencil! Pencil is key. Then, add a pointed bottom to your oval with a circle nose. Next, add two small triangles to the top of the oval and give the little raccoon a few whiskers. Don’t forget to erase as you go. Lastly, fill in the details and outline with a black marker! Now, cut the raccoon out of the cereal box and give your self a pat on the back!

How to draw a raccoon head

 

Once the head is made, I just used a black marker to draw on 2 arms. Then made a large striped tail and cut the tail to make it stick out. Easy peasy!

Here are the other animal toilet paper roll crafts in the alphabet series:

  • A is for anteater
  • B is for beaver
  • C is for cat
  • D is for dog
  • E is for elephant
  • F is for fish
  • G is for giraffe
  • H is for horse
  • I is for iguana
  • J is for jellyfish
  • K is for kangaroo
  • L is for llama
  • M is for mouse
  • N is fo Numbat
  • O is for Octopus
  • P is for pig
  • Q is for quail

And now for a few fun facts about raccoons:

  • Raccoons are omnivores, that just means they eat both meat and plants. And almost anything else, like cat food!
  • Raccoons front paws are similar to human hands, and have 5 fingers. They can catch fish and even open latches of cages!
  • They are excellent swimmers.

Next Tuesday I’ll have a letter S toilet paper tube creature ready for you! There are so many fun S animals, what should I make?! Snake, shrimp, sloth, squid, seal, squirrel, swan..!
