Cylinder Sculptures for Kids

By Marcia Beckett | July 26, 2017 - 11:41 am |July 5, 2024 1st grade, abstract, mixed media, sculpture, second grade

Various colorful cylinder sculptures made from paper and craft supplies are displayed on stands.

I saw this post by the Art Bar Blog which gave me the idea to make these cylinder sculptures with my 1st graders. We started with toilet paper tubes and paper rectangles rolled into tubes. The best way to adhere these is to pour out some liquid glue onto a paper plate, then stick the ends of the tubes into the glue.

Colorful cylinder sculptures made with straws, tubes, paper, washi tape, pom-poms, and pipe cleaners on a white background.

We also used washi tape, colorful straws, pipe cleaners and pom-poms for added interest and texture.
