Toilet Paper and Telescopes

It's our first day of summer vacation!! I woke up to happy kids watching cartoons and enjoying their self poured cups of apple juice. I needed to change baby girls diaper and I already had her in the changing table but I didn't replace my toilet paper roll. I don't use baby wipes, instead it's a squeeze bottle rinse (read more here) on a few squares of Toilet Paper.

So I asked my older son to fetch me a roll. "Mom when your done, make sure you save me the roll so I can make a telescope." Flashback to two days ago, I was packing a huge mirror gift for my cousins 40th birthday party and used up the remaining roll of wrapping paper. And I didn't toss the inner cardboard roll. I put that in the kitchen near our craft station - knowing we'd need it sooner or later. Little did I know how soon.

I told him where he can find the ideal size telescope roll, and he and his brother felt inspired to create.

I love when these boys make something from their imagination. This telescope will be around for a few days. They usually make a craft, play with it that day, use it the next day, maybe end up outside playing with it, and after 1-2 weeks it'll be found, completely used up :-) To Mom's complete satisfaction too.
