Big Paper

I hope your weekend was swell! If your kids like arts and crafts, there is no more cost effective item than the long rolls of paper (similar to poster paper from pep rally days) available from most newspaper publishers. If you haven't already checked into it, call up your local paper and ask about their "end rolls." These are the leftover ends of their print paper, and they usually come in large and small rolls, usually for a nominal fee. Our local paper charges 50 cents a roll, and they last forever. Get one for yourself and your buddy. They are also useful for wrapping breakables in a move, or for lining your table before art projects and messy eating adventures.
