Reusing/recycling

Hi all,
Would you know of websites which gives idea on how to reuse everyday items?

I already reuse egg containers (for Montessori transfering activities), most plastic/glass containers for storing objects and paint, old toothbrushes to paint with etc etc.
I’d like to turn objects into toys/activities…

Thanks!

Hi Hypatia!

Did you try googling “upcycling”? This is the term used to describe taking what we would consider garbage and turning it into something useful. You might want to try googling “upcycling toys”. Hope that helps. Be warned however, there are many cool ideas to do that may not involve toys…I got stuck (having fun!!) browsing for a good hour last time :slight_smile:

Hi Kizudo,
For some reason I only saw your reply today…
I did not know the term upcycling, thanks for letting me know. There is a lot out there but i still can’t find exactly what I’m after (I’m finding mostly interviews and testimonials, not actual toys)

Hypatia,
if you found some, let us know. I realized that many times the ‘less expensive’ toys are the ones that kids preferred.
