First off, where would we be without toilet paper? But what do you do with the empty rolls? There are lots of things a person can do with an empty toilet paper roll. One thing I like to do with them is to fill them with dryer lint and old, used up dryer sheets. Then I put them in the furnace to start fires. It works like a homemade starter log. They also smell great! Empty toilet paper rolls have also been used at my house to make party favors. You wrap them in tissue paper and fill them with candy and small toys, tie a cute little ribbon at the top and POOF! You have yourself a nice little treat bag. Another thing we have used them for is to make a recycled C3PO robot from Star Wars. Toilet paper rolls along with paper towel rolls and some duct or electrical tape and you can really make some neat stuff. That kept my boys busy making them and playing with them.
Play-Doh
I love Play-doh! It comes in all kinds of fun colors and you can form it to be any shape you want! You can mix the colors and create any kind of color blend or tie dye. People even make homemade Play-Doh now. I remember as a child, watching in awe at the new T.V. add for the brand new fun factories that the company had come out with. You could have a barber or beauty shop where the Play-Doh was the hair and you could cut and trim the hair. They also had a food factory where you could press the Play-Doh in to food shaped molds and make dinners and picnics. The problem with that was kids seemed to eat the Play-Doh, but that is ok because as it turns out, Play-Doh is nontoxic! What a relief that was. I remember being curious what it tasted like, on account of so many kids eating it, so I licked my fingers after playing with some. I remember it having a salty taste. The down tide to the doh was getting it out of carpet! also how disappointed you would be, to find out later that you didn't get the lid on all the way the last time you played, and found the Doh dried out.
