Materials needed: 1 Koala pattern click here 1 empty paper towel roll 6"x12" tan construction paper 6"x6" dark green construction paper 4"x12" dark brown tissue paper 22" dark brown yarn 5"x5" tag board tape scissors glue crayons ruler pencil

1. Cover the paper towel roll with the tan construction paper and glue in place. Let dry. 2. Tear the dark brown tissue paper into small jagged pieces. Cover about half of the paper towel roll with these pieces all around. Glue and let dry. 3. With the dark green construction paper cut out leaves for the tree. You may glue on as many as you like. 4. Take the dark brown yarn and put it through the tube. Tie on the outside in a firm knot. Don't tie it too tight. You should make it loose enough so that it will slide up and down. 5. Make a print of the koala pattern. Glue the koala onto the piece of tag board to make it heavier. Color as you like. Tape the back of the koala to the yarn where it's knotted. Now you may slide the string up and down, so the koala climbs up and down the tree.
