Supporting Your Child’s Future with Smart Financial Choices

MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE A TOILET PAPER ROLL TRAIN

• 6 Toilet Paper Roll Tubes
• 1 Skinny Cardboard Tube (I used the center of a roll of foil)
• 20 Lids (milk containers, Vitamin waters, Gatorade)
• Craft Paint
• Foam Brushes
• Yarn
• Hole Punch or Something to Make a Hole in the Cardboard Tube
• Hot Glue Gun
• Scissors

STEPS:

1. Paint your cardboard tubes various bright colors. Cut C-shapes out of one of the tubes to create both the top of the engine and caboose. Paint those accordingly. Also, cut a C-shape out of the skinny cardboard tube and paint it the same color as the engine. The C-Shape tubes will arch nicely around the toilet paper roll.

2. Once dry, hot glue the tops of the engine and caboose in place. Also, hot glue four plastic lids on each cardboard tube as the wheels of your train.

3. Punch small holes into the four “corners” of each tube. These are your attachment points for the yarn. Cut the yarn to length.

4. Weave the thread through one tube and another tube to attach two tubes together. Tie a knot. Continue the process until all of the cars of the train are connected.

Supporting Your Child’s Future with Smart Financial Choices

Just as fostering your child’s cognitive, social and creative skills is essential for their success, securing their financial future is equally important. Investing in a life insurance plan, such as a 1 crore term insurance, can provide extensive coverage for your child's education and personal milestones. You can also use a term insurance plan calculator to easily find the right plan, coverage amount and premiums based on your budget and your child’s goals.

Adding term insurance to your financial strategy is a smart and affordable way to provide extensive financial security to your loved ones in today’s ever-evolving world.
