The scoop
Keeping a baby entertained can be tricky, especially when you want things to be affordable and low-waste.
Instead of buying a new toy, Pua Wyers (@wyerstribe) shared how she turned empty paper towel rolls into a fun activity for her baby. It's free, quick to set up, and perfect for keeping little ones busy and curious.
All you need is a flat surface, tape, empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls, and small balls or toys that your baby can safely drop through the tubes.
Tape a few of the empty rolls vertically to your chosen surface, stacking or arranging them side by side to create a sort of chute or track.
Then, give your baby the toys so they can drop them. Ta-da!
How it's helping
This simple hack is a big win for parents. First, it clearly saves money: You are using what you already have at home, so there's no need to buy new toys. It also saves time: The setup takes just a few minutes, and it'll keep your baby entertained longer than you'd expect.
Lastly, this simple game is a good way to repurpose common household items and cut down on waste. Instead of tossing cardboard tubes in the trash, you're giving them second lives.
