Desperately trying to convince my Board at WI Association for Environmental Education to help me out with money to go to this event. I think I would get a lot out of attending this and could share what I have been doing at preschools around here.

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling.

If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
