Loving these ideas! We did toilet roll foxes back in the Autumn and I was really surprised how well they turned out. I’ve since been saving toilet rolls here and there, so definitely going to get my little lady to try some of these. The mermaids look awesome. Thank you for joining us for the #DreamTeamLinky xx
