To Make the Toilet Roll Safari Binoculars you will need the following items:
2 Toilet Rolls
Paint or markers
Coloured paper
Ruler
Pen or pencil
Scissors
Tape or Glue
String
Instructions
Paint or colour your toilet rolls. We decided to go for a giraffe pattern!
Measure and cut two strips of paper, one should be 1.5 cm wide and the other should be 2.5 cm wide
Tape or glue the two rolls to each other
Wrap the 1.5cm wide strip of paper around one end of the two toilet rolls and tape or glue down. You may need to trim off excess paper
Wrap the 2.5cm wide strip half way up the two toilet rolls and tape or glue down.
Add your string. You can either tape or glue your string to the 2.5 cm wide strip or you can punch a hole in each side of your binoculars to tie your string on
Congratulations! You have completed your Safari Binoculars! Why not try using them to complete our Safari Saturday Scavenger Hunt?

The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”
Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon, How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chant, ye little birds, And I sae weary fu’ o’ care? Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird, That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn: Thou minds me o’ departed joys, Departed, never to return.
Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon, To see the rose and woodbine twine; And ilka bird sang o’ its love, And fondly sae did I o’ mine. Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose, Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree; And my fause lover stole my rose, But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
