Just a quick question, I have quite a number of the scoops that come with the formula milk and I don't know what to do with them! Any ideas, I don't want to throw them away!?

Thanks

I gave the gremlins an empty Huggies wipes container full of formula scoops, they loved trying to get them out and figuring out the pop up lid, and how to open it and shaking it.

I wonder if anyone can tell us what to do with the tins too other than storing felts in them or putting stuff in and gluing the lid on for a rattle/drum. And I wondered if they would be strong enough for a small person one day to do that thing where you make stilts by drilling holes in and having big loops of string.

Any ideas?

once again give them to a kindy/playgroup...use for pot plants/seedlings...put holes in the bottom and use them as bath toys...use them to post things in...
