How to Make a Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

How to Make a Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

The weather hasn’t been quite cold enough for us to have a good amount of snow. Now, it’s still late November and I’m sure that will change once winter really settles in. Or, at least for my toddler’s sake, I hope it does. While we can make do with our sensory snow play, she is really looking forward to the snow. In the meantime though, we can make a toilet paper roll snowman. This adds to our (somewhat) growing collection of toilet paper roll crafts.

When it comes to Christmas shopping and gifting, I always like to have something extra on hand to give to guests. Or to give to local community members or neighbors. Whatever the case may be, it could be something small or it could be something homemade. I prefer homemade because I think it just gives that extra touch. This year, I will be gifting peppermint Christmas cracker candy. Package your peppermint Christmas cracker candy in a Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for easy gift giving. Thank you to Rubbermaid for partnering with us to bring you this post. I was actually surprised at how easy this was to make. I’d always been under the impression that the process was complicated.

Finding Dory Gift Ideas for All Occasions

My toddler’s latest obsession is Finding Dory- the 2016 hit from Disney/Pixar studios. The sequel to the equally popular Finding Nemo, Finding Dory centers around Dory’s quest to find her parents.

Free Printable Thanksgiving Placemats for Toddlers

Free Printable Thanksgiving Placemats for Toddlers

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! I can’t wait for the food and the football. And of course, spending time with family.
