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 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
The toddler 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
What we did:
1. Paint the toilet rolls
2. Swirl the paints in the tray....
3. Stick down a piece of paper on the swirled paint, press and lift up
Ooooh pretty patterns!
4. Leave to dry (yep I use my clothes hanger!)
5. Roll paper into cones for the rocket top. I took over at this point and did this!
6. Stick on a variety of decorations and glitter!
7. Add glue on the inside of the tube and stick "fire" coloured tissue paper in to make the BLAST OFF FIRE
And voila, you have your own rockets to blast off and play with the toddler!
I shall leave you with FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.......BLAST OFF!
Enjoy
