Are you saving your TP & paper towel rolls? Here’s a fun and easy project for your keiki to do at home...
1. Find the line/seam that goes around the the TP roll and cut along it.
2. Color your snake and find a scrap of paper to glue or tape on for the tongue.
3. You can even wear this on your arm as a bracelet or cuff!

These are some of the common items you can save at home to make your own mini Trash-to -Treasure station! Start saving cereal/cracker boxes, TP/paper towel rolls, corks, bottle caps, and clear plastic containers like this berry container. These types of items in addition to crayons, markers, scissors, and glue can lead to hours of fun! We will continue posting ideas here and on our Facebook page. #creativereuse #trashtotreasure #keikiart
