Plastic tubs
I have been keeping some bits of packaging to one side - the plastic trays ready made cakes come in, a chocolate box tray, yogurt pots, that sort of thing, as it occurred to me that these could be used for play some how. It's quite alarming to see how much of this stuff we use and that can't be recycled in our area. Yesterday I cut some of these things up and they were a real success. I thought they were a much more stimulating source of creativity, as they could be adapted to make all sorts of things, and really complimented playing with plasticine and small figures.
I cut up a chocolate box tray to make lots of single chocolate size containers, which made little stools or a trough for an animal. A yogurt pot is a used as a cooking pot here and the clear plastic tray is a bath.
The cake tray is used for an animal shed, and below some plasticine has been added to make a fire and a couple of tree stumps to sit on.

Environmental concerns aside, I often think packaging is so interesting there must be a use for it and keep it a while in case it comes in handy (it never does) before throwing it out.
ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for cardboard boxes, too - especially really big ones that you can get inside.

ReplyDeleteLove the animal shed! (memories of life on the farm.)
I always tell new bloggers that if they wish to encourage more readers to come to their site then they need to go to other sites which interest them and leave a comment - not always easy to find these other sites but trial and error is the answer (sometimes (like in your own blog name) the name is an indication of the content of the site.)
