The other day we added a new member to our family, a teeny tiny netbook computer who has yet to be named, and she (of course it’s a girl; would you expect any differently from us?) came packed in between these two foam sheets:
They’re each maybe 12×18 inches and 1.5 inches thick. I have NO idea what to do with them, and I’m not usually a packrat, but I have the feeling we could do something really fun with them…A craft? A game? Something?
Unfortunately, my decluttering personality is going to win this battle unless I come up with an idea for them by this weekend, and so I’m begging for your help! Got any ideas?
{ 5 comments… read them below or add one }
I’d toss them. I don’t have a creative bone in my body.
Wait. Could you use them as some type of mini bulletin board? Doll mattress?
Ok. That’s all I’ve got.
Hi mandi – I’m a new visitor to your blog – I don’t have any ideas for these cute foam things – i’m in clean out mode myself, but I just want to say hello!! We are homeschooling this year too – i really loved all your ideas with the very hungry catepillar – especially the felt board idea – so inexpensive and fun! See you around!! Blessings to you
Hey Mandi! I agree with the first comment. I was thinking a bulletin board of some sort. Let us know what you decide!
It looks like it has grooves…do they form some sort of trail? My first thought was to make a game…start at one end with the other end at a decline. Sort of like that Price is Right game – Plinko ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plinko ) You could make different cards for each ending slot … perhaps animals, letters of the alphabet, addition or subtraction problems, etc. based on what your girls are learning. The girls could *win* something if they get the answer right.
