Wrapping Toys with Toilet Paper

Create Your Own Toilet Paper Face Masks
What you need:
- Not so many Toilet Paper
- Marker and other Art essentials
What to do: Roll the toilet paper around your face, and start decorating it. Take lots of photos (because you can't see it yourself).
Why do it: Time to exercise some creativity and take turns decorating each other's "Toilet Paper Face Masks". But these cannot protect against virus, bacteria or dust... at most protect identity only.

Build a Toilet Paper Fort
