Recycle Container into a Bath/Pool Toy…

I save old containers.
They are just too nice to toss aside. (Remember the Bowling Set & Storage Boxes?!?!?)
This habit annoys Hot Hubby to no avail!
While packing up for the move he wouldn’t let me take my “creative” stash so I took a picture…I understand his refusal to move a box of empty containers (oh the fabulous plans I had for those cans!!). But if I didn’t save stuff I wouldn’t have been able to make this AWESOME bath toy for the kiddos…
You will need…

Stab the heck out of the top and/or bottom.

I did an “X” pattern on the bottom and loads of holes on the top.DONE!
The kiddos love it 🙂
(FYI That is Hot Hubby’s hairy arm up there not me!)

    Ooo, cool idea! I’m always looking for better options for bath toys. Store bought ones always seem to hold water and get all gross in short order.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I love those!

    I save Gerber cereal and baby food containers, too– also, sour cream and butter containers. It’s a good thing!

    Good idea with the bath toy; I think I will try it!

    […] stash (aka Hot Hubby said he wasn’t going to move a giant box of empty bags… makes me think of my old container stash). I now only save plain colored bags or get plain ones from the dollar store. I use fun tissue […]
