How to Make Homemade Toy Binoculars

This is a very easy craft to make and a lot of fun to play pretend with afterwards. Just attach 2 cardboard tubes together with duct tape so that they are about 1/2" - 1" apart, just like your eyes. Poke holes on the outer side of each tube (at the end). Use a 25" long string and put in the holes and tie knots on the inside of the tubes to keep them from falling out. Now you can hold your binoculars around your neck.
