Cardboard Tube Corn Cob Craft Idea For Fall
When it comes to kid crafts, the cheaper the better.
Because let’s face it – you may love those beautiful masterpieces but you’re not going to keep EVERY piece forever. So the less you spend on supplies, the better you will feel when it comes to purging the art collection. Right?
With that being said, today’s kid friendly Toilet Paper Roll Corn Cob craft is as inexpensive as it gets {just the way we like it around here!} The main material of this craft is actually a recycled toilet paper roll {which everyone likely has one in their home right now} so this activity can easily cost you a total of ZERO to make!
So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and set up some time to make this simple Toilet Paper Roll Corn Cob with your child today!!! It’s “poppin” good and doubles as some inexpensive decorations on your Thanksgiving table too!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished craft tube corn cob on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see it! #gluedtomycrafts
