The Wizard of Oz Activity

Toliet Paper Roll Activity-

The goal of this simple activity is to re-create the characters of the beloved tale, The Wizard of Oz on a toliet paper roll. Students from 1st grade to 3rd grade will enjoy constructing their favorite characters in the classic story.

Materials: toliet paper roll, construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons, markers, etc.

The list of instructions for the activity are as follows.

1. The students will color each part of the body for either the lion, tin man, scarecrow, or Dorthy. (Remember the body parts will be detached from one another for each character. )

2. The students will cut out each body part of their particular character. (This step might require adult assistance.)

3. Each student will have a piece of construction paper that is relative to the color of their character. (For example, the tin man would require gray or silver paper, while gold paper would accompany the cowardly lion.) Each piece of paper will already be cut so that it will wrap perfectly around the toliet paper roll. The student will glue the construction paper around the toliet paper roll.

4. Next, the colored body parts will be glued to the construction paper on the toliet paper roll.

If you wish to be creative, you may attach a bravery metal to the cowardly lion, glasses to the scarecrow, a heart to the tin man, and the ruby red slippers Dorthy.
