Toilet Paper and Paper Towel Tubes

These little delights are a very popular “art supply” in our busy little household. My children love creating many things from them, including:

  • Flowers
  • Space ships
  • Cars
  • Space aliens
  • Little people
  • Architectural elements in buildings
  • Airplanes
  • Flotation devices for boats

It’s so much fun! As soon as one is available, there’s a show of hands asking who gets to have it . . . so, I’ve been trying to hide them in a container so there’s plenty available when the mood strikes.

What’s the problem with that plan?

They’re all claimed! “Can I have that when the roll is empty?” Yep, there are three rolls working in the house right now and those, along with their next refill, have already been claimed!

Needless to say, there is no shortage of ideas in this house about what to do with these tubes . . . there is, however, a shortage of the actual tubes!
