Because toilet paper rolls are made of cardboard, they’re recyclable and a great way to reuse items.
Also, the soft cardboard material of toilet paper rolls is easy to cut with scissors.
Besides, they can be glued and stacked to form any number of projects.
Not only can you build and stack them, but they can be painted on and decorated.
They also make excellent educational toys and learning activities.

FUN FACTS ABOUT GIRAFFES
- Giraffes are the tallest animals on Earth. They can grow up to 18 feet tall.
- Too their tongues are long – about 18 inches.
- And there is a reason for their tall necks. Giraffes are herbivores, meaning they eat plants, and their height allows them to reach leaves high up in trees.
- They sleep standing up and only sleep for about 4 to 5 hours.
- There are different subspecies of giraffes. For instance, there are Reticulated Giraffes: Known for their distinct, net-like pattern of spot, Masai Giraffe: These giraffes have jagged, irregular spots and live in Kenya and Tanzania, Rothschild’s Giraffe: Found mostly in Uganda and Kenya, they have light-colored spots and are one of the rarest types, and Southern Giraffe: Found in Southern Africa, they have large, star-shaped spots.
