DON'T THROW AWAY THOSE TOILET PAPER ROLLS!

If you're reading this, we know you have (like us) stocked up on toilet paper this week due to the COVID19 scare!  Well, now that you've stocked up...we had to fill you in on a secret! You can actually get so much more out of that purchase than you thought!

Toilet paper rolls are PERFECT for at-home crafting and...ENTERTAINING KIDS!

Below are THREE adorable toilet paper roll crafts you can do from home.  We hope these inspire your kids to use their imagination to create and design their own crafts right from home!

Toilet Paper Roll Bunnies

With Easter right around the corner, this is a perfect craft for the kiddos at home!  It's very simple.  

Tips:
If you don't have the right paper, that is OK.  Your bunnies don't have to look like this!  Use the materials you have and let your kids get creative.  

No googly eyes?  No problem!  You can always just color the eyes on with a marker or crayon!

Bird Watching Binoculars! 

This one was fun to create!  

-Tape the paper of your choice around the outside of both toilet paper rolls.
-Tape both rolls together.
-Help secure both rolls together by wrapping another piece of folded paper around the two rolls.  Use tape to hold.
-Hole punch and tie string to both sides of your binoculars.  The larger the knot the better it stays! 
-Decorate and enjoy!

Silly Octopus

This particular craft was a little more time consuming, but he turned out SO cute!

-Measure the length of your toilet paper roll on a piece of paper, fold on that line. 
-Create 1/2 inch or 1 inch lines down the other side of your paper, then cut on those lines.
-We chose circles, but you can decorate each piece however you'd like.  
-Curl each piece
-Roll paper around the toilet paper roll and tape to secure. 


There are SO many crafts you can do with toilet paper rolls!  We hope this inspires you and your kids to start using materials found right in your home to create adorable artwork!
