Customized Toilet Paper Roll Telescope

I thought about the idea of making a customized toilet paper roll telescope while waiting for my daughter to finish her bathroom business at 2am today. She saw the empty toilet paper roll in the sink counter, placed it in her one eye directed at me, then said “you’re funny.” I suppose I looked funny to her coz my eyes were halfway closed, hair all messed up, and looking all sleepy.

After lunch, I gathered all the materials we needed to make her newfound telescope all pretty and girly.

MATERIALS: 1 tissue roll, 1 paper(scrapbook or plain white), glue, scissor, stickers.

Cut the paper to fit the toilet paper roll with extra spaces to fold into the roll. Apply glue on the first end, roll to cover then apply glue on the other end to tightly seal everything.

Put glue on the circumference then fold it inside to tuck them in.

Start decorating with the stickers of your choice. The Care Bears stickers were from her Christmas stockings.

She also added numbers. Supply from my Scrapbook stuff.

VOILA! A pink customized toilet paper roll telescope.

For an added accent, punch 4 holes in the roll to tie around a ribbon to turn it  into a necklace and accessible at all times but be careful with the length  of ribbon you’re going to use. Make sure it’s off your child’s neck when asleep.

She loves her new telescope. Hopefully it’s not too cold tomorrow  so we can play outside and she can use it to check out squirrels and the trees .
