TP Issues...

[PolkaTots]

Is there a such thing as C fold toilet paper...kinda like the C fold paper towels? If not, I am going to invent them! I am going through way too much toilet paper here! (I swear one of the girls usues half a roll each time she goes!)

What do you do when you have a child that uses WAY too much TP?

Offer 2 tissues instead?
I use Scott's. The old fashioned kind that is real thin and a roll lasts a week.

I take it off for them and hand it to them while they are going. We have cut down tremendous use of tp.

I was also thinking of buying tissues and telling them they can pull out 3 sheets and use that.

I teach my kiddos that they are allowed to use a specific amount of squares per age.

Helps with over use for sure. Sometimes they will need a bit less or a bit more and that is ok but if I notice the paper being over used or wasted, we sit down together as a group and have that discussion again about "how much is enough".

I do think they make "c" fold toilet paper though

LOL!! :: looking on-line for such a thing brought up this site! http://www.origami-resource-center.c...r-origami.html which is too funny!!! Can you imagine if we sent the kids home with art project made from toilet paper?!!? ::::

I have a dad who used to bring his daughter every morning and would use like 1/2 a roll! He would poke his head out and tell me I am out of TP when I knew there was at least 1/2 roll!

I tell kids they have a tiny hiny and they only need a tiny bit. Not that this helps any.

For the younger kids I hand them the appropriate amount (set it next to the potty on the counter). I do the same for handwashing as going through 2 rolls of paper towels a day was RIDICULOUS. For the SA kids, I honestly just hope that they wipe to begin with. DCG NEVER wipes (or flushes). YUCK!

I put a small piece of painters tape (I love that stuff!) on the wall under the toilet paper. When they reach the tape, they know they have plenty of paper

I have two Dora stickers on the wall and they can roll it til they reach Dora and then stop.

I use Scott's for the same reason. I only use it in the basement bathroom though as my family hates it but it seriously lasts forever!

I love the idea of putting a line of tape or sticker or something on the wall and you can pull it to there. Need that in the family bathroom for my husband

Tape or sticker idea is great! Thanks!
