All kids adore animals and my monkey craft with toilet paper roll is very easy and is good for recycling paper rolls!

Children love seeing zoo animals up close and personal, with monkeys being one of their favorites.

They love watching them swinging from branch to branch and eating bananas.

Kids have much love for the monkey species that’s for sure. My Monkey pencil topper is extremely popular with boys and girls.

This paper roll Monkey will keep children happy in between visits to their local zoological gardens! He is one of my more simple toilet paper roll craft ideas for younger kids

While he cannot eat or play he still looks the part and will make a good puppet for story time and pretend play.

Before beginning this craft with toilet paper roll I recommend you ensure all your supplies are at hand and that you have printed off your monkey template (which can be found at the bottom of this post).

Step 1:

Use the printed PDF templates to cut out the pieces for the Monkey craft with toilet paper roll.

Now, follow the numbers on the instructions and the numbers on the templates to glue the pieces together.

First, glue the monkey’s face on it’s head (piece number: 1 and 2).

Now, glue the palms with the hands. (piece number “3 and “5 and 6”)

Step 3:

For this step, take both ears of the monkey (piece number: 7 and 8) glue them on the top side of the monkey’s head.

Step 4:

Draw eyes on 2 circular white papers. Then glue them on the monkey’s face.

Step 5:

Now, cut out a brown piece of paper according to the circumference and the height of the paper roll.

Use the brown paper to wrap around the roll and secure it with glue.

Step 6:

Now, take the monkey’s arms and glue them on the paper roll. Allow the glue to dry.

Step 7:

Then, take the monkey's head and glue it on the top of the paper roll.

You can end making the monkey here, but if you want to add one more detail take the piece number 10 and glue beneath the hands of the monkey on the monkey’s belly.
