Earth Day All Year Around
Posted on April 20, 2012 at 6:04 AM |
I know, I know…even more earth-friendly would be to make our
own reusable wipes! I do feel remorse
sometimes when I think about the moms that make their own reusable wipes and
keep waste out of the landfills. Teaching our children and keeping up with the
laundry is about all I can do right now.
I have germ issues, so just washing our diaper wraps is enough of a
stretch for me!
If you shop at a warehouse store, you know that each box of
wipes comes with a changing table box and a travel size box. Since I am clearly not going to make wipes
soon, here are some ideas of mine, plus some I collected from friends on how to
reuse those plastic containers instead of throwing them out in the trash or the
recycling bin. Every day can be Earth Day if we get creative about reusing and repurposing common items.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mxcj8CojAo I like to use it for a sensory box. At the age that Angelika is now, I have to
watch her vigilantly to make sure she doesn’t put a bean in her mouth! The kiddos fill it up with pinto beans (a
great math exercise for them!) and then we put it in front of Angelika so that
she can stick her fingers through the soft top and get a little stimulation and
practice for her pincer grip as she tries to take beans out.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is7QS0qgxtQ We also use it to play a hide and seek game. It is beneficial on so many areas: we talk
about colors, shapes, sounds, textures.
I am excited for the day that she will be able to open the lid
herself. Even at this simple level, you can
see that the older kiddos have fun joining in.
As she gets older (and this is a game we play with the older kiddos), we
do a tray full of toys. I show them the
tray of toys. Then the kids close their
eyes, I hide a toy in the box (and the tray behind my back) and they have to
guess which toy I put in by guessing from the sound of the rattling coming from
the box.
From Lisa C: Nail Polish holder
Eye Drop Carrier
Discreet Holder for Feminine Hygiene Products
More ideas: Crayons. Pencils and pens, erasers, misc. school supplies,
sewing notions, thread, oh so many things! Zabrina
P. I'll probably use them at school next year for
crayon/pencils storage at the kids' tables. I could also use them to organize
centers! :) Daniella L. Planter boxes: you would need to drill small holes in
bottom; maybe 3. Lego holder or sorter. Drawer liner: Take off top and
use in a deep drawer to hold creams, make up or even small kitchen tools. Or
roll up ties or wash clothes for display or easy storage. You can wrap outside
in a pretty paper or wallpaper. Jennifer DF. Crayon or marker container! Heather B. V-smile cartridge container. Nikki A. Small toys- army men, puzzle pieces, rock collections, etc. Loraine
P The travel size ones are great money holders for the kids. I
also made cloth wipes for baby dolls. Now why I haven't ever thought to put the
real cloth wipes in there, is beyond me. Lol! Tina L. I bought a sewing machine and the woman had extra needles,
bobbins and thread in hers! Gloria P.
I think if we all reused our plastic and metal containers,
we could start a home organization movement built solely on reusing and
repurposing. I invite you to leave your
comments below to add to the ways to reuse these little green boxes. If you have an accompanying picture, please
send it to me at [email protected]
and I will add it into the post. Thanks
– and Happy Earth Day :)
