Materials

  • Tape
  • Markers, crayons, stickers, and so on

Directions

  1. Tape two toilet paper rolls together to make a pair of binoculars for your child.
  2. She can decorate them with markers, stickers, and so on, and use them to spot interesting things as you go for a walk or ride in the car.
