Toilet Paper Roll Cars

ByErin March 12, 2014May 4, 2021

I love a good project using items from around the house! These cars are fun to play with but were even more fun to make.

We painted them, punched out circles to attach as wheels with little brads, and added number stickers and a steering wheel to each. So much fun!

Little Man liked them so much that he had to be in some of the pictures.

I found the idea on Pinterest, of course, and you can view the original project here (it’s in Hungarian, but the pictures are great and easy to follow).

Start saving those toilet paper rolls and you can make some too!

ByErin April 2, 2014May 4, 2021

I’m always on the lookout for any little thing that might entertain or interest Little Man. This simple activity was a surprising hit (even the Big Guy thought it was really cool!).

Though it was 70 degrees and sunny yesterday, today we found ourselves stuck inside, but there…

ByErin March 12, 2020April 15, 2021

“We can’t watch TV all day!”, our energetic, boisterous 5 year old spouted off recently. He just couldn’t stand the thought of sitting still and not DOING something, but we preferred not to go out in the cold that chilly winter day. So, some indoor activities that we could do at home were in order….
