With the daycare, I can see going through 2 rolls a day. One thing

you might want to try is to squish the roll so it does not roll as

freely on the spindle. This will help reduce “paper run-away” excess use.

Paper towels, that will be a bit tricky. Thing is, I have a roll of

paper towel that I bought 6 years ago, before I moved here, and have

not used it up. I use cleaning cloths that are washable. For a

daycare, you might want to get some inexpensive wash cloths and hand

towels to use instead of paper towels. Just have the stacks handy

and a basket to toss the dirties into. You’ll be amazed at how easy

it actually is to do this once you get into the habit. I also find

that towels clean better than paper towel. I’m sure the toilet paper

trick should help with small children, though.
