Roberta’s Craft: Fake Campfire!

 

Hey everyone! Roberta here with a super simple and wonderfully FUN craft! Today I’m going to show you how to make a fake campfire!

 

What you need:
Three paper towel tubes, brown craft paint, paintbrush, black craft paint, brown construction paper, yellow construction paper, red construction paper, orange construction paper, craft glue, scissors

 

What you do:

  1. Cut out a brown construction paper circle for each end of each paper towel role. Glue them in place.
  2. When the glue is dry, paint each paper towel tube brown. These are your logs!
  3. When the brown paint is dry, paint on black lines to make the logs look like they have bark on them.
  4. When the black paint is dry, glue all three logs together in a campfire arrangement.
  5. Cut out orange, red and yellow flames from the construction paper.
  6. Glue the flames together and then glue them in place on your logs.
  7. For extra fun, I got a pencil and painted it brown to look like a stick. I then got a Styrofoam marshmallow and stuck it on the end! Now I can pretend I’m camping anytime I want!
