7. Toilet Paper Roll Rockets

Transforming recyclables into imaginative toys is always a win. These rockets are perfect for kids who love space and adventure.

How to make it:
Wrap an empty toilet paper roll in colored paper. Cut out triangles for fins and a cone for the top, then glue them in place. Decorate with stickers, stars, or aluminum foil for a space-themed touch.

Why kids love it:
They get to build something they can actually play with afterward.

Parent tip:
Pair the craft with a mini science lesson about planets and space travel.
