Preschool Early Years resource Christmas wrapping paper rolls & tubes: recycling request slips

For recycling the cardboard tubes from the centre of Christmas wrapping paper rolls and household wrapping materials please feel free to use & distribute these slips.

Recycle and request slip - Cardboard tubes

And full pdf

If you adapt & hand out your own design please add a post and let us know what reponse they received.

Activity ideas for tubes:
  • Telescopes
  • Blowing, noise making and talking through
  • Rain makers
  • Flag poles
  • Streamer handles
  • Drop through, roll through, get ready to catch play - Incy wincy spider's drainpipe maybe
  • Inner section of Christmas crackers: party hat, joke and gift
  • Sunflower stalks
  • Swords
  • Broomstick handles
For meetings, knowledge/understanding, training and inspiration for child led play this craft book available from amazon can help activity providers see the possibilities with tube craft:



Horizontal display poles:
If you have secure ceiling mounted hooks for holding display work, the longer cardboard tubes are excellent for presenting lightweight craft and art pieces, text frames, posters, mini theme or topic content and overhead signs.



Storage bags are available to help keep craft tubes safe

Please add on with ideas you've enjoyed ..
