10 Cardboard roll crafts including a loo roll rocket competition

Do your kids love to junk model as much as mine.  A firm favourite of ours is loo roll crafts (or cardboard tubes from kitchen rolls and wrapping paper).






Cardboard tubes are such a versatile craft material, so if this inspires you why not take a look at the crafts below and have some fun with the kids:  It is amazing what you can do with some inspiration and some loo rolls, so grab yours from the recycling pile and get crafty.


I love these toilet toll shakers, what a great way to make a toy out of something you have decorated.


The boys would love to make these knitting looms.


These toilet roll bracelets by Molly Moo are wonderful and perfect for manual dexterity with the weaving involved.


I know that we would have so much fun making these loo roll glasses.


I look how bright and fun this rocket is from Crafty Morning.


How cute would this windmill be, a great way to demonstrate wind power.


I am really taken with these changing faces toilet roll people, great for learning about changing feelings.


What child wouldnt love a pair of binoculars. perfect for adding to any dressing up box.

How perfect is this bi-Plane, perfect for any Dusty fans with Planes 2 just out.

Bissell Vac and Steam Machine Review and Giveaway

I have hard floors downstairs which I love.  They are much more practical than carpet with 2 mucky boys and a dog. Over the past 8 years I have tried all sorts of ways to keep them clean and I think I have finally found the product that does that for me. It is the  Bissell Vac and Steam Machine .  This amazing suel action machine vacuums and steam cleans either independently or at the same time.  It means that I have done away with my vacuum and steam cleaner downstairs (which I gave to my brother in law). What I like: You can either vacuum or steam clean or do both It is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre The handle is adjustable great for a home with people of different heights and for getting the kids involved. You need no chemicals The pads are washable and reusable It comes with a two year guarantee It warms up fast (within 30 seconds) so no long wait to start cleaning It costs under £100 It is space saving.  No need for a separate vacuum, steam cleaner or mop.
