Spy Gear Binoculars! Little Boy Crafts! From Toilet Paper Rolls!
Do you have a little spy?
I do. When he's not cruising in his jet packs...
he is sneaking around corners with his toy gun in hand.
I figured some spy binoculars were in order!
These are easy! About 10-15 minutes...

Gathering the Supplies!
You will need:
3 toilet paper rolls
hot glue
spray paint
rope or shoelace
Start by cleaning the toilet paper rolls off...I let my 8 and 10 year-old help with that part!
Cut a small 2 inch or so piece off 1 of the tubes.
Make it curve on either side, so it snuggles the tubes on each side.

Assembling the Binoculars!
Hot glue the 3 pieces in place!
Hold together until the glue dries.
I put a ring of glue on one side, just to make it look different and cool...
sloppy, but cool.

Customizing and Stringing!
At this point, it's time for customization!
I super lightly misted mine with Gun Metal silver.
You can still see cardboard color in there...but for a 3 year old, it's all about getting it done fast!
Let them dry,
Then punch a hole on either side and tie a shoelace in the holes. Make sure it comfortably fits around the spies head and neck!

Spy Time!
Your little spy will be ready to prowl!
This was so fast, free and fun! The results were nearly instant! For a 3 year old, that's critical!
These would be fun for a preschool, party or gifts!
