Several DIY ideas to recycle your cardboard tubes!

As you probably know, at La Loutre we take care to limit unnecessary packaging and plastic materials as much as possible (when we can).
That's why , when you place an order for several vintage posters, we systematically group your products into a single tube.
Rather than throwing it away (for recycling of course), you can also give it a second life, especially with your children!
We obviously advise you to entrust the handling of the cutter and the scissors to a adult, and if you lack the raw material, just look around you, you will find almost everything!

A marble circuit.

To hang directly on your wall by cutting the tubes lengthwise, or to elevate with other cardboard scraps that you collect from right to left , you will have at least 2 hours of play guaranteed for your children!

A garage for small cars.

Realization tested and approved by one of the dads of the La Loutre team (during the first confinement to tell you the truth...) the cardboard car garage! Practical, this will save you from stepping on all the cheerleaders and hotwheels of your little cub!
To do this, all you need is a container (wooden crate, cardboard shoe box, etc.) and cut our tubes widthwise to make small storage boxes. A dot of hot glue to hold everything together and you're done!

Small puppets.

Let your imagination run free to create hanging puppets as a family. A cardboard tube, felt-tip pens or paint, some yarn and two chopsticks (for sushi!) and you're off to the "pestacle" of the year.

If you're drowning in the playmobiles (not to mention the brand...), organize a car race of cardboard cars!

And lots of other ideas

We are not going to dig into all the ideas, but you can see the process of reflection. With cardboard, the possibilities are endless for more or less successful/decorative results! For the big-big fans, you can also make furniture... but hey, if you've reached this stage, you must have already found a lot of ideas!
