For many months the popular question in the house was; "Hey mom, Do you have some duct tape and scissors?" Coinciding with the question you would see one cute little boy calling any toilet paper roll or paper towel roll as his own..."I call that roll!" So for Christmas we collected as many rolls as we could get from family and friends, bought him some duct tape and gave him his own scissors. He has created all types of things with these items. He is most drawn to making weapons (great!) but he has soooo much fun. This was the best idea ever!

you are a very clever mom
Brilliant! This reminds me of the Christmas when my brother's wife put scotch tape in her sons' stockings (they were ages 3 and 4). When we asked them what they got for Christmas, it was the first thing they mentioned - "We got tape!"
Why do we spend money on expensive toys when all they need are some recycle-ables and tape?
