First we built a closed circuit so it would loop around and come around when we knocked it over. We had to do several takes before we completed our loop because it was knocked down accidentally. That’s what makes it so exciting, you have to be very careful or all of your work is undone. We wanted to see how long of a trail we could create and it spanned the length of the room.
Our play lasted for the entire nap time before my daughter came down and tore through all of the dominoes which was expected.

My kids had fun playing with packages of toilet paper when my hubby came home after he stocked up at the grocery store. Once he finds a great price, he stocks up and we don’t need to buy anymore for a few months.
My kids were tasked with putting the toilet paper away but as I was putting the groceries, the kids decided to have some fun with them instead. They built a house with them at first, a mini fort and then they lined them up and knocked them down. My kids decided it would be even better if they could make them fall from a higher point so they started lining them on the stairs.
