Gru would love this Despicable Me minion toilet paper roll craft. Your children will love these minion crafts made from construction paper and markers.
Minions from Despicable Me have to be one of the most strange yet lovable characters of all time. They speak a variety of languages, including French, English, Spanish, and Italian, and their own made-up language. Their hysterical laughs are hilarious. And they do the craziest things!
Today, as part of our Disney-themed week, we are making minions out of toilet paper rolls! This craft is a great way to reuse cardboard tubes that you would normally throw in the trash.
My kids thought the toilet paper roll minions are adorable and love seeing them around the house. These are also perfect as decorations for a Despicable Me theme birthday party for your little minion lover.
