So, being inspired by #toddlerapprovedtuesdays and searching for a million things to do with all the toilet rolls we have floating round our house (I swear the husband eats the stuff!!!) we decided to bust them out and make toilet roll rockets. The current toddler obsession.
Seriously.
At nighttime, if its Daddy bedtime, instead of a story all I can hear down the monitor is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF and giggling. Repeat for 10 minutes. And somehow it sends the toddler to sleep.
It doesn’t however work when Mummy tries. No mummy no mummy. Or indeed when Daddy tries and it isn’t bedtime!
I digress, we have a million loo rolls, we have a few craft bits and glue, and Daddy was headed off to play golf and I felt too rubbish to chase, so rocket ship toilet roll craft began!
What we used:
Variety of paints and paint brushes
Glitter
Glue
Coloured Card and paper
Pom poms, stars, googly eyes
Tissue paper
Of course, toilet rolls
Of course then the toddler started exploring everything as I laid it out for a picture to show you all<
Oooh glitter. And yep, 30 seconds after this was taken it got dumped on the floor. Sigh
