Another Boredom Buster

After looking through one of my kid's craft books this afternoon, Tyler decided he wanted to make a homemade marble run out of cardboard tubes. We gathered a few empty toilet paper rolls, a paper towel roll, and pulled the leftover Christmas wrapping paper off a couple big rolls, confiscated Ron's duct tape, grabbed some scissors, and found some marbles.


Tyler had a lot of good ideas. He wanted windows and cutouts to watch the marbles drop. He thought it would be neat to have a second area to drop in marbles, too. It only took us about 1/2 hour to make our marble run, but the kids played with it for quite awhile. They had fun trying it out in different spots around the house.
Here are a couple videos:
