Toilet Paper Roll Nutcracker Craft for Kids

One of my favorite Christmas Stories is  The Nutcracker. There’s something so magical about the songs, story, and characters. It’s not just my favorite story but my 6-year-old loves EVERYTHING Nutcracker. In the last couple of years, he’s managed to collect close to 30 Nutcrackers of all shapes and sizes.  Every time he goes to the store he manages to secure a new nutcracker…what can I say he’s cute. 

So I knew I had to come up with an alternative that’s easier on my pockets. That’s why I created this sweet Nutcracker craft! It’s the perfect Nutcracker craft for kids. It’s so easy to make all you have to do is print, color, cut, and glue! That’s why I love this craft so much. 

I really try to make crafts on my page that are easy to make and fun. Toilet paper roll crafts are my favorite because with kids this is always a fun craft to make and it makes you feel better when you have so many of these toilet paper rolls left.
