Buying in bulk can be helpful in more than one way. Who needs building blocks when you can build a "state building" using toilet paper rolls?! While preparing for a bath last week Vanessa decided to use the new package of toilet paper to build. She stacked and counted 9 and then decided there should be 10, so she added "one more." We continued to build for a while, so long that I decided to shower first. One roll she was building with was one by her potty and had already been used some. So as she experimented with rolling and making toilet tissue dresses, quite a bit came unraveled. (I have to admit the dress she made was cute, but being in the shower I couldn't take a picture.)
As I was nearing the end of my shower I told Vanessa to clean up the rolls before getting in her bath. This was part of her solution . . .
Perhaps if we allow her to play with it now she'll stay away from the mean-spirited activity of toilet papering houses when she's older . . . (although less-damaging and cheaper than spray painting bridges, underpasses and street signs, I guess . . . :)
