DIY Binoculars

Here's another quick and easy activity you can do with things you have in your house. You'll need:
*Any kind of clear, plastic wrap
*Two toilet paper rolls or one paper towel roll, cut in half
*Washi tape or colored duct tape (if you don't have either of those, no big deal)


First, I taped two small pieces of plastic wrap to one end of each tube to make the "lens". Then I gave Rowin a few different kinds of tape and let him decorate the tubes however he wanted. 


Once he was done, we taped the two rolls together and TADA! Binoculars!


He was using them to spot animals in our backyard. Could be fun to take on a nature walk too. Ours lasted about two days until Rayna found them and poked a bunch of holes in the plastic with her fingers. Oh well. On to the next thing!

Fancy, right?
