Not too long ago, Rylie started asking for a trumpet. Every time she would say " I weally want one," I told her I would do my best to find one for her. When she asked me again this week I went searching through 'stuff' (aka junk) I collect to see if I could make her one instead. Nothing too fancy, but something that would give her the satisfaction of having a pretend trumpet.
I collect containers, jars, and yes... toilet paper rolls because I feel that they come in handy for crafts. I had an "Aha!" moment when I saw the toilet paper rolls. I made the trumpet for her in less than a minute and she was so excited to finally have one. Then she thought for a moment and said, "Can you make me a micafone (microphone)?" I went looking through my "stuff" again and found some more rolls and tissue paper. Below are some pictures of her testing out her microphone and trumpet.
You can tell she's really into it...lol.

Hi Helen! Sorry I missed the Jewlery show. I promise to be at the next one. I got the days mixed up. Let's start a band with our kids! Rylie can be the lead singer and Trystan can play drums.
very creative!! you can make lots of fun things with toilet paper rolls! i just made some ornaments--yes, ornaments! i cut the roll into thin strips & flattened, glued some foil wrapping paper on the outside and stapled 4 strips together at the center forming a flower shape. funky, fun and cheap ornaments!
