I think these are GREAT! I like the castle and I want to make the marble maze. We have made the doll puppets before. I love using recycled materials to create something new! :) Thank you for sharing! Have a great day!

Thanks for including my maze! It's still one of our favorite activities and my 17 month old LOVE to move the bean through the maze with her fingers. ;)

This is such a great collection of ways to use those tubes and a great resource! Thanks for all you do!

Are there people that throw cardboard tubes away?! ;) We would never think of that-too many cool things to do with them like this great resource shows. Awesome list!

My kids liked to pretend they were casts and they had a broken arm. I especially like the marble run!
