Toilet Paper Roll Crafts for Kids To Do

Have you been stocking up on toilet paper and now are stuck with a ton of empty toilet paper rolls?  Here’s a fun roundup list of 26 toilet paper roll crafts for kids, toddlers, and preschoolers to do!  Your children will love making these DIY crafts with empty toilet paper rolls.

If you’re like us in 2020, you’ve been stocking up a bit on toilet paper rolls.

Of course, it helped that we already had a great food storage and had toilet paper stored already. We promise we did not rush out to the store and buy a bunch!

However, that meant we were left a lot of empty paper towel rolls, especially because some of our kids are still in the stage of unrolling rolls or using way too much toilet paper.

So to help us out with that, we searched for cute and creative toilet paper roll crafts the kids could do. This solved TWO problems – what do to at home during quarantine, and what to do with empty paper towel rolls!

We hope you find these as helpful as we did!
