We all know children like the packaging better than the presents, so why do we keep buying them expensive plastic toys? Repurpose “waste” for hours of fun. Empty yogurt cups, plastic takeout spoons, straws and more can be used in the bath, at the sandbox or at the beach. Plus, you don’t have to stress if another toddler walks off with a few of your “toys.”
