To think that in the spirit of imaginative play

[Magneto]

I should let ds continue to shred the toilet roll he has just found? and it will keep him quiet for a food long while

Yes.
Then you can play lively music whilst he tries to stuff it all into a bag.
Then he can play with the hoover, and it will be lunchtime before you know it.
You can call it 'working on his fine motor skills' if anyone asks.

If he's 2 yes, if he's 19 no.

You have no concept of modern abstract expressionism then spiderpig?

Excellent plan and he is 15 months, definitely not 19!

Love it

photos of the carnage? :)

Ahh, yes this is a very popular 'game' in our house.. Especially so with boxes of tissues and packets of wipes.. Loo rolls in general go straight in the loo (whole!) or the bath...

Oh god no! You would never believe that all the mess was created by one toddler on one morning l

You wait until he's doing abstract impressionism at A level.
And kinaesthetic responses to an artist's work.
And welding with diverse materials.
You don't know just how bad it can get.
