 Hi, my name is Allison Farrell, and this is my studio. I'm the author and illustrator of the book, The Hike. And in The Hike, the kids take with them binoculars. So I thought today we could make binoculars together. You'll need a stapler, two toilet paper rolls, a hole punch, a paint brush or two, whatever color paint you want, and yarn or string. Staple your toilet paper rolls together and grab a piece of paper or a paper plate, something to put your paint out on. I'm using blue and red. Do you know what color blue and red make when they're mixed together? It's purple, is that what you guessed? Now I'm gonna paint my binoculars carefully and clean up all the blobs. I'm starting with purple, but it dries a little like pink. After I finished painting this, I went over it with black and used the purple pink as a detail. I used the hole punch to make a hole on either side for the string. Then I measure out the string and thread it through the holes and tie a knot. And here they are, my finished binoculars.
