Imagine

 Don't throw that out!  

Instead get creative and crafty with the little ones.

Egg cartons are really caterpillars, alligators and dragons in disguise: With scissors, glue, paint, and imagination that is.

Oatmeal boxes become castle towers and doll houses.

Transform plastic milk jugs into piggy banks or "fund" banks.  Decorate them to reflect that special toy or event they are saving for.

Cardboard paper towel or toilet paper rolls turn into puppets or telescopes.

Used Kleenex or tissue boxes make awesome dinosaur, clown, or monster feet/shoes.

Plastic tops from milk bottle are great game pieces and counters for those first math lessons.

Coffee cans are perfect for storing puzzle pieces, crayons, and small toys.

Dad's old shirt can become a painting and crafting smock that keeps your children from decorating their clothes when creating their master pieces.
The sky's the limit.
