Melissa & Doug Wooden Tabletop Paper Roll Dispenser – 12-Inch x 75-Foot Bond Paper for Kids
This tabletop paper roll dispenser from Melissa & Doug holds a 12-inch-wide, 75-foot roll of premium white bond paper, ready for drawing, painting, and crafting. The sturdy wooden design sits on any flat surface, and a built-in child-safe tear strip lets kids cut clean sheets without scissors. Designed for children ages 3 and up, it encourages creative, screen-free play.
How does the child-safe tear strip work?
The tear strip is built into the front of the wooden dispenser. Children pull the paper over the strip and press down to tear off a sheet. It creates a straight, clean edge without the need for scissors, making it safer for young artists to use independently under adult supervision.
