101 Things to Do with Old Yogurt Containers
Okay, not really 101, but I definitely get a lot of use out of our old yogurt containers. Here are some of our favorite.
Large Containers with Lids:
*Turn upside down and use as stilts to practice walking around the house like a circus performer
*Use in place of Tupperware for leftovers
*Fill with beans or other small gizmos, put lid on and shake, shake, shake for a fun toddler toy
*Set up and play the drums on them
*Use several to sort large shells
*Make a spill-resistant bubble container (from Zakka Life)
Small Containers, especially the Yo-Plus containers:
*Pour glue in them to paint with glue
*Sort buttons, beans or other small items
*Serve applesauce or yogurt from large containers for perfect portions
*Give to the baby as stacking toys
Do you have any other uses for empty yogurt containers?
They also work great for storing homemade baby food or whatever else you might make… salsa, dip etc. You can even use them for giving salsa, jam or whatever as gifts instead of buying jars. Just print out fancy little labels to cover them and add your own personal touch.BR/BR/Thanks for stopping by my blog. And by far… your suggestion is the most tempting! Don’t have any yet, but a bag of Reese’s PB cups and a glass of milk sounds yummy. Fattening and unhealthy, but yummy all the same.
Another great activity for preschoolers is taking the lids of several size containers off to match and put back together. You can make people with grass quot;hairquot; I looked for a link to explain and found this: BR/BR/http://www.huggieshappybaby.com/info/bow/article.aspx?article_id=1699amp;s=MyYahooamp;_nc=633561526263716849amp;_nockcheck=trueBR/BR/There#39;s lots of fun ideas, I can#39;t wait to try circle painting!
I didn’t know you could still get yogurt with lids. They are great for storing homemade playdough. You might even be able to use Kool-aid for a smell to coordinate with the yogurt flavor.
Hi Mandi,
I am a preschool teacher and mother of a 4 year old and 1 year old. I was looking up uses for yogurt and stumbled across you.
Have you ever heard of Thirty One Gifts? I am a consultant with them. We are a direct sales company that offers boutique style handbags and MORE! I was wondering if I could advertise with you and possibly give something away to your readers?
Thanks!
