Toilet Roll Craft: Printing Fun!

April 23, 2013 By jbmumofone 8 Comments

W is not a fan of messy play. I fear this may be my fault, perhaps being a little over zealous with the hand-wiping when he was smaller, as now he really does not like to get his hands dirty.

Because of this he has not been a huge fan of painting at home as at nursery finger-painting is very much encouraged and he hates it.

I am trying to get him over this gradually so this week we had some fun with paints but used empty toilet rolls instead of fingers or brushes.

It actually worked really well.

We just took an empty roll, squished it a bit, dipped in a tray of paints and stamped away.

The effect was really quite good.

I think the heart shapes could easily be turned into little butterflies or would make a really nice Valentines Day craft.

Even better…the boy really enjoyed it.

I’m hoping he may be getting over his fear of paints!

    Hearts and butterflies, I think they lend themselves well to either. A lovely idea. 🙂

    Aren’t toilet paper rolls awesome? So versatile, beyond their intend use. Can’t believe I’ve been throwing them away all these years. Anyway, I love this fun and easy craft. Your son’s smile tells how much she loved it!

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
