Cardboard cups

Children's tea cups with cardboard

Children have always liked it play house and doctors, is a way to identify and copy everything from adults. All this simulation is part of their learning and development since they imitate everything their parents say and do.

Therefore, today we present these wonderful cups of tea or coffee made with rolls of toilet paper so that they play that traditional game of the little houses. In this way, we teach them that with the recycling we can also make small toys for them.

Materials

  • Rolls of toilet paper.
  • Glue stick or glue.
  • Scissors.
  • Felt pens.

Process

First of all, we will take the roll of toilet paper and we will remove a piece (at least 2 cms) so that these cups are smaller. This piece will be reserved for the handle of the mug.

Then, we will flatten a little by one of the ends and we will cut four incisions with scissors in the shape of a cross to be able to make a flat base.

These We will glue 4 flaps overlapping with each other and we will have the base of the cups. For the handle we will only have to take the part that we had left over, cut it and roll it a little, to stick it on itself and adhere it to the cup.

Finally, we only have to do the mugs design painting them with markers, acrylic paint, etc. Also, if you want to make a small plate, we can do this with a simple piece of hard cardboard and decorating it.
