Oh No, George! Paper Tube Craft

This craft was inspired by Oh No, George! To learn more about the book and to see all our Oh No, George! activities, click here. 

Inspired by the geometric shapes and the expressive eyes Chris Haughton used in the illustrations of George, this project uses a minimum of materials but has maximum appeal. Set out the supplies and invite your young reader to create a unique version of George.
