As soon as you have children, playthings become a big part of your home. You accumulate too many toys, especially plastic, small figures: animals, dinosaurs, people, monsters… You can find them everywhere in your house. However, it doesn’t matter how many figures they have in their room, they’ll always want more.
How about encouraging children to play creatively and making their own toys? You can do simple, fun figures and cars out of recycled paper rolls. Sure, they’ll be unique!
Toilet paper tubes are a craft time staple for pretty much every parent. They’re just the right size for hands-on projects and imaginative play. It’s a versatile everyday material and easy to get. What family doesn’t generate a large quantity of toilet paper rolls?
