I am always looking for new things for my 2 little ones to do while I homeschool my older 2 boys. I scour Pinterest a lot of times to get some ideas. I stumbled across this idea and thought my kids would enjoy it, sure enough they did!
Materials:
Toilet paper rolls
Paint
Paper
Take your toilet paper roll and manipulate it into a heart, it does take some working with and one end may look more like a heart then the other side, that's OK.
Once you have your hearts made then put out Valentine's colored paint - reds, pinks. I put ours on a paper plate.
Then have have the child start stamping their hearts on paper! My daughter made her Valentine's for her friends in her Bible study class using this toilet paper stamper and about 4 pages just stamping away!
At times when you place the toilet paper tube in the paint the whole heart will be filled completely giving a full heart!
Thrifty, recycled, fun craft!

ReplyDeleteI saw this idea on Pinterest too. We had a play date this weekend and were going to try it out, but with all the other things we were doing we didn't get to it. Looks like they had fun with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a great way to re-use those toilet paper rolls. Great way to keep young ones occupied as well (and some of us older people as well)
ReplyDeleteCute ideas!!!! What a great way to reuse!
