Recycle the Roll

Many of us never look twice at the small cardboard roll sitting empty on the plastic tube in our bathrooms. It may become a source of frustration, and then it is easily tossed into the trash once the fresh roll is replaced.   This is not the case in my house.  In my house, my three lovely children keep watch for when the tube is about to go empty, and lay claim to the one almost finished in the upstairs bathroom or the one running low on the paper towel dispenser.  They call first dibs, call each other out on who got the last one, and on occasion, end up in tears all over this tiny cardboard roll.  Why all the fuss?  It's the key to creativity, construction and countless hours of  imaginary play.  From a pirate spy glass to intricate puppets, these rolls are a hot commodity in my house.

Thus, the inspiration for the final binder assignment of the third quarter.  I was super impressed with all the amazing ideas that entered the art room.  Enjoy this Smilebox of "Recycle the Roll!"
