Sending Recyclables to Preschool

My toddler's preschool actually wants our plastic bags and toilet paper rolls! I make a point of saving them and sending them in every week. It's nice to know they're going to get reused, which is better than recycled. I use plastic bags to line all our small trash cans, but we always have more bags than we need, even though my husband and I both always carry a reusable bag with us to cut down on the tide of plastic bags.

Repurposing milk cartons

Of course, you can take two milk cartons (the waxy cardboard things) and cut off the tops and fit them together to make toddler building blocks.
When you've had enough of that, try making each box into a little storage box. I've been doing that lately, and I'm excited about the growing collection. I haven't decided whether to keep the repurposed-chic look, or decoupage them into a less-busy looking collection.
