? We recently checked it out from the library and have already watched it a dozen times! Totoro is a large, furry forest spirit who helps two sisters adjust to their new home. My preschool son loves it because there are no bad guys, the sisters have a really sweet relationship, and Totoro is extremely cute. So today I'm sharing 3 Totoro crafts in honor of this great Miyazaki anime!3 Easy Totoro Kids Crafts

1. Make a Totoro Lacing Card
I doodled Totoro onto a sheet of watercolor paper
with Sharpie Marker. Then, I cut it out. My son colored Totoro in, punched the holes, and then strung a long piece of yarn through them. The results are super cute!2. Totoro Toilet Roll Crafts
Ok. We've done dozens of toilet paper roll crafts, so I figured we might as well add a Totoro toilet roll craft to the mix. :) I think the picture pretty much says it all! Just cut out a Totoro shape, paint it with craft paint, and add on details with Sharpie markers and tiny sticker eyes!
3. Totoro Paper Plate Purse
I think this is my son's favorite one of the three. He's been carrying it around our home all day! To make it, I simply did the same thing I did to make my watermelon and doughnut paper plate purses. Super easy and super cute!
Hopefully you and the kids have fun trying out these Totoro-inspired crafts! And if you're looking for another cute Miyazaki anime, check out Kiki's Delivery Service. It's our other current favorite anime!
