5 Creative Things Your Kids Can Do with Your Hair Rollers

by bentleyboutique ~ June 20th, 2009. Filed under: Family, Kids and Teens.

One day when my boys were about 5 years old, Nathan found these velcro hair rollers that I never used, and said, “Look mom, binoculars!”
Nathan's rollers: binoculars

Then he said, “Look mom, it’s a spy gun!”
Nathan's rollers: spy gun


Next it was “Look mom, I’m George Washington!”
Nathan's rollers: George Washington

Then Mickey Mouse got his turn:
Nathan's rollers: mickey mouse
Ok, I was a little worried at first when he came up with this pose, but then he said, “Look mom, I’m a muscle man!”
Nathan's rollers: muscle man
I still have the hair rollers, but he hasn’t played with them in 9 years:)Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

    Funny! Makes you wonder why we spend so much money on toys
    when they really enjoy the things we already have just as much!!! :)

  7. That’s so funny. Love the last one. If it’d been my girls
    they would have put them under their shirts! LOL Happy
    SITS day to you!

    You could probably sell those rollers all neatly packaged up, give them a fancy name,
    and make some money. It’s amazing how little kids need to inspire
    themselves creatively. My daughters imagination is a constant source
    of inspiration for me.
