What a great list – you are right, those TP rolls gather up quickly! My favourite is the “puppets” one – I want to make those straight away!
It was one of ours too – my son played with those a lot.
“The Happy Earth Day Coloring and Activities Book” is one of great publications for young children.
My son loves making these!
Perhaps for the paper roll material , for the flute itself , I bet still can modify to a telescope too ! Which I think can be even extend longer, good for the kids who wish to see the stars at night ! haha =) Kids do love these stuff.
