Bluey and Bingo Dunny Roll DIY

Get crafty with the kiddos! Reuse dunny rolls to create your own adorable Bluey and Bingo characters at home. 

Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect!

For Bluey, you will need:

• cardboard dunny roll
• pipe cleaner for arms
• white and black for eyes
• 4 x Bluey coloured materials - light, mid, dark blue & yellow for her snout
• 1 x black felt/foam for nose (you could also use a black marker)
• glue
• scissors
• pencil
• ruler
• a grown-up to help

For Bingo, you will need:

• cardboard dunny roll
• white and black for eyes
• pipe cleaner for arms
• 3 x Bingo coloured materials – orange, tan, cream
• 1 x brown felt for nose (you could also use a brown marker)
• glue
• scissors
• pencil
• ruler
• a grown-up to help

Remember you can use any materials you have around the house. We used a combination of felt, paper and a foam sheet.

Step-by-Step:

1. 1.Cut out your materials in the corresponding coloured paper using our template.
2. 2.Wrap the mid-blue foam around the taller toilet paper roll and secure it with glue or tape.
   • For Bingo, use the tan fabric.
3. 3.Wrap the dark blue fabric (eye patch) around the top of the roll and attach it to the foam.
   • For Bingo, use the orange piece of paper.
4. 4.Stick the light blue fabric (tummy) onto the front of the mid-blue foam.
   • Use the cream-coloured felt for Bingo!
5. 5.Glue or tape the legs to the bottom of the roll, underneath the body.
   • Do the same for Bingo!
6. 6.Add pupils to the eyes using card or marker. Then attach the eyes, snout, and Bluey’s nose to the face.
   • Do the same for Bingo!
7. 7.Insert ears into the top of the roll. Add inner ear colour and don't forget her eyebrows!
   • And Bingo’s too!
8. 8.Stick the dark blue spots to the sides of the roll.
   • Add Bingo’s orange spots.
9. 9.Glue the tail to the back of the toilet paper roll.
   • Don’t forget Bingo’s tail!
10. 10.Glue Bluey’s hands to a pipe cleaner. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the back of the roll and secure with tape.
    • Do the same for Bingo!

Bonus! You might even like to make some dress-ups for your Bluey and Bingo with some leftover felt, paper or card. We made our very own Janet and Rita.

Once you've made your Dunny Rolls, why not make a cardboard car or a shoebox bedroom?
