DIY Projector with Flashlight

We love any opportunity to reuse and utilize household items.

This flashlight craft requires:

• toilet paper rolls,
• cling wrap,
• rubberbands,
• foam stickers,
• a small flashlight

Tear a small piece of cling wrap and place over one end of the toilet paper roll, minding the sharp edge. Have your kiddo assist with pulling the rubber band to place over and secure the cling wrap. Place a foam sticker (animals are great!) in the middle of the cling wrap. Use your flashlight to shine through and project the sticker shape onto the wall.

There are so many great opportunities for play with this activity; kiddos can put on a live “flashlight show” where they can create and act out their own scenes as the character flashlight projects onto the wall, or they can play flashlight tag or hide and seek with each child attempting to cover each other’s light with their own.
