Last Friday, desperate to find something new to entertain Bean while I cleaned the house for our impending visitors, (there is only so much dusting and bed making she is interested in helping with!), I found a couple of empty toilet rolls in the recycling and I remembered seeing a flickr post of a toilet paper class shot - here.
So I very quickly drew a fairy queen and punk princess, coloured them in with Beans crayons and cut around the top.

| Fairy Queen |
 |
| Bean with her new best friends |
 |
| It was hard to focus on the dolls with the excited waving around by Bean! |
They haven't left Beans hands - she has played with them constantly over the weekend despite receiving a few new toys for her birthday.
Today they are looking slightly tattered - the Fairy Queens wings are bent and the punk princess is currently awol.
Who needs expensive toys, or dolls to entertain the kids when there is always a toilet roll in the house??
What creative ideas have you had to entertain kids on those cold and wet afternoons?
