How to make Superhero cuffs using toilet roll tubes

September 13, 2016 by Kate 12 Comments

If you could have any super power, what would it be? Lots of children love superheroes, especially Batman and Superman, and so in this post I’m going to share how to make superhero cuffs using toilet roll tubes and coloured paper. This is a great activity for boys an girls and I love that children can decorate them however they please.

There is something so powerful about superheroes. It doesn’t really matter if you have a favourite or not, the idea of pretending to have super powers is attractive to kids of all ages, even adults (hello super cleaning powers!). With kindergartens and schools committing to book week each year and children regularly requesting to have dress up birthday parties, these superhero cuffs might be a great option for your child to make and wear while recycling at the same time! 

Recommended age: 3 years +
(Strict and active supervision is required at all times)

To make a Batman superhero cuff

Begin by covering your toilet rolls in black paper. You can have your child colour the toilet roll black using coloured pencils too.

Once you allow the cuffs to dry, simply cut the toilet roll down the back and fit it over your child’s arm. Of course if your child wants to be Batman, for example, then be sure to make two of the same cuff for them to wear. Cuuuute!
