reduce, reuse, recycle

what to do with all of these little plastic gerber baby food containers??? i like to store the homemade baby food i make in glass mainly because it is easier and safer to heat up in the glass. so then what should i do with all of these? i feel like putting them in the recycling bin is such a cop-out and besides, they are just too cute to boot. here are a few ideas i found:

• my fav - great for storing a clean pacifier in my purse

• measure out formula for on the go

• holds cheerios or little snacks on the go

• holds dressings, hummus, diced fruits & veggies in lunch boxes

• great travel container for jewelry

• quarters for the meter 

• can be tiny planters for starting seeds

• desk supplies (tacks, paperclips, staples)

• snack size jello or pudding

• mini first aid kit

• blocks (and you could put fun surprises inside for them to open)

• wipes for your small purse

• mini sewing kit

• homemade bath salts as gifts 

• kid's crafts - they can paint them or glue things onto the outside and then fill with candy as gifts for their class, etc.

• fill with water and freeze for ice packs for lunches or boo boos

• homemade playdough

• bath toys (poke holes in them for more fun)

...they can be used in a million different ways - be creative - reuse!
