Other Ideas

  • Stamps — Fold or bend the toilet paper tubes into different shapes to make stamps. Your child can dip them in paint and create a masterpiece!
  • Enhance Learning — Is your child learning about an interesting topic in school? They can use their new knowledge to inspire creations such as machines, animals, or characters from a book they're reading.

Stay safe (and at home) and take care.
