You could not have missed the latest enviro-whaco complaint in the New York Times that Americans love their soft cushy toilet paper too much. It seems that to make the soft premium brands requires long wood fibers that can only be had by cutting down trees as opposed to using a recycled product. Once again the "Greens" would make us a nation with bleeding derrières and bad hygiene.
Well I say Easter is the time to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with family and friends. When meal time comes one of those spiral cut baked hams is in order, and when that double sized roll of Charmin is depleted it can serve double duty to keep the kids busy with some "Jesus Craft".
DLTK's Bible Activities (http://www.dltk-bible.com/mjesus.html) has a wonderful site to help teach the Bible (KJV1611) to children with arts and crafts. The particular activity uses a toilet paper roll to make Jesus.
Follow the directions on the site and print out the template pieces, then assemble your Jesus. For added fun, the site suggests the following game:

It may seem a tad odd making Jesus out of a toilet paper roll, but I think the end result is quite nice (Tasha has hers sitting in a place of honor on her bedroom shelf). The craft is made with a toilet paper tube, a printer, a piece of paper, some crayons, scissors, and glue. I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary.

OPTIONAL: Thanks to Cheryl for sending this idea to us! My boys made it today age 6 and 3 they had fun, I altered a little bit. I used up an old cd to glue Jesus' head on and two slits on the toilet paper roll (we used card stock) and braids so the arms could move.
Then since it's Easter time we played Jesus is alive (hide and seek) we played over and over. I would hide Jesus and they had to say "Jesus is Alive" when they found him.
