D.I.Y: upcycle 'trash' into toy houses..

Hello friends!

As the title implies, this do.it.yourself project is all about turning trash into treasure... for your toddlers.  

Because sometimes I'm too lazy to do a 'toy-rotation-schedule' but I still want to introduce something new to their playtime without spending another cent on more kid-clutter toys! 

 

 Enter from stage left: empty cat litter container... sure, one could just toss it in the recycling/garbage.

But not here, NO!  We cut.colour.create with it.

A silly new farmhouse for our daughter's toy animals is invented.

This sturdy plastic container is easily cut with a sharp knife/X-ACTO blade.

While a black Sharpie permanent marker makes for simple decorating.

I didn't try to be too artistic here, the more childlike/messy.. the better I think, so don't sweat it.

So next time you go to toss a juice jug, litter container or any other similar 'trash' just remember how much fun your toddler could have with it! 

Creatively yours,

Mel ;o)
