101 Uses For is popular and let's hope it stays that way. Our second book is presently called 101 tips for self sufficiency; we will certainly dip into this section for ideas. So post away and let's try and get at least one thread up to 101.
2. tape 2 together for toy binoculars
3. shred to add to your compost
4. make christmas crackers with snaps and crepe paper
5. use to make miniature fairy castles by ading a cone shaped roof and glueing and painting.
6. give them to the gerbils or mice to use for tunnels
9. string some together and paint green. There you have it a giant snake for kids 'jungle' bedroom
10 Give to local Nursery (for children not plants) as they have 1001 uses for them and never say no (not to bubble wrap, packing polystyrene, envelopes, fabric off-cuts etc..either)
We always call them 'duh-duh-duh's'.
Because when the children were small they always used to put them to their lips, trumpet style and go " Duh-Duh-Duuuhhh!!!".

Family & friends bought my kitten loads of toys - the ones she preferred were toilet roll tubes & screwed up balls of paper. So maybe a cat/animal shelter would appreciate some tubes.
When I was at university, one of my close friends and housemates liked to do this. By the end of the year, our bathroom was crowded with numerous "TR people"!
I saw on the tv show 'heaven's garden,' that toilet roll inserts can be filled with compost, then carrot seeds can go in and germinate, then be planted straight out....
Do they fully biodegrade quick enough? Or would you steer well clear?
sorry to be a stick in the mud, but nursery regulations forbid the use of toilet rolls for craft. Kitchen rolls are fine. You can use them with your own precious darlings, but not other people's unfortunately (I get through more TP than KR, so they'll have to be plant pots instead!)
