        How To Make Toy Binoculars for Kids

        These kid-sized binoculars are perfect for keeping everything in sight.
        • Time

          30 Minutes

        • Price Range

          $1 - $50

        • Difficulty

          Easy

        In this Project you will:

        Step 1: Cut the Sheet Protector

        Cut a circle out of the sheet protector approximately 1"-2" larger than the hole of the cardboard roll. Attach the plastic to the end of the roll with a rubber band. You can help the plastic fit around the roll by making small cuts around the plastic. Repeat with the second roll.

        Step 2: Decorate the Binoculars

        Cover each roll with a piece of decorative paper; secure with clear tape.

        Step 3: Attach the Rolls Together

        On the bottom (non-plastic-covered) end of each roll, punch two holes across from each other. Line up the holes and attach the rolls together with a rubber band (Image 1). Cut a length of yarn, twine or string and tie the ends through the holes on the outer edges, creating a neck strap (Image 2). Tie a smaller piece of yarn, twine or string through the two inner holes to secure the rolls together.
