TWO Impressive Despicable Me Minion Inspired Kid Craft Ideas

Who loves the movie Despicable Me? Are you waving your hand with me?!

It’s actually one of the few kid movies, I’m able to sit through and enjoy without getting bored.

Lil man {the child who doesn’t sit still at all at this age} even sits down to watch a few moments of it. He always points out the Minions as they wiggle and giggle across the screen.

So… you might have already guessed but that’s why today I’m sharing these TWO different craft ideas inspired by the movie Despicable Me! One of which uses a recycled toilet paper roll and the other just requires some paint.

On that note, are ready to see them so you recreate them with your child today? Keep scrolling for all the details and get ready to make some of your own Minion Inspired Kid Crafts today!

Here’s the first craft – Toilet Paper Roll Minions:

Toiler Roll Minion Craft Supplies:
* Clean/Empty Toilet Paper Rolls {one per minion}
* Yellow Craft Paint
* Wiggle Eyes
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Construction Paper – blue/black
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Low Temp Hot Glue Gun
* Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

First paint your toilet paper rolls – yellow. You don’t even have to cover the whole roll, but if you do – no problem! I just say the whole thing doesn’t have to covered, because one half will be covered with the blue construction paper.

Once you got the paint down, set them aside to let it completely dry.

While you are waiting, cut your construction paper pieces. I created some “hair” with the black construction paper by cutting what kinda looks like a crown. Then with the blue construction paper I cut strips for the minions pants. I somewhat eye-balled it but the strips were about 2 inches wide & 5 1/2 inches long.

Once your toilet paper rolls are dry, it’s time to hot glue it all together. The strip of paper goes around the bottom to give them pants. The eyes and hair go towards the top – where the yellow is.

Now the second craft is even easier than the first! So easy, I don’t have any pictures to show you how to create it – but it’s pretty easy to understand.

Footprint Minions Craft Supplies:
* Blue & Yellow Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Wiggles Eyes
* School Glue
* Construction Paper
* Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

Basically the same supplies as the first craft, so it’s easy to do these together! Just be sure to have baby wipes close by for easy clean up!

So that sums up the new crafts we recently did, inspired by the movie Despicable Me.

Pretty simple, right? Hope they inspired you too! Now go make some minions of your own! THEN, when you are done crafting, be sure to snap a few pictures to share with us on our Facebook page so we can admire them from a far!
