Kids Cups – 10 Great Uses
Any parent who takes their kids out to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner know that when they order a kids drink, it most likely will be served in a kids plastic cup with a lid and
straw. I have been saving up quite a few kids cups from my kids meals and I have been trying to figure our what to do with them. I do not like to just throw them away, as they will then just sit in a landfill for years to come and I do not like to leave them behind because I know the restaurant will not reuse them. Most kids plastic cups can be recycled, which is a great option, but why not find other uses for the cups before they are recycled. I have put together a short list of things you can do with those plastic kids cups below:
Sand Toy – Bring your kids cups to the beach or the sandbox and use them to build a sand castle.
Snack Cup – Put snacks in a kids cup, cover with the lid if you have one and place in a bag for a car ride or for around the house.
Drinks – Use your kids cup at home for drinks.
Crayon/Pencil Holder – Use your kids cups to hold crayons and colored pencils on a desk or table.
Crafting - Use your kids cups for crafting, holding water for painting, holding paint and paintbrushes and craft supplies.
Scoop - Use a kids cup as a scoop for detergent, salt, bird seed or dog food.
Water Toy – Use a kids cup in the bathtub or the pool.
Plant a Flower – Drill some small holes in the bottom of a kids cup, add some soil and a seed, water and watch your flower sprout and bloom. Replant when necessary.
Toy – Use a kids cup as a toy, add it to your kids selection of toys, let them use their imagination.
Stack Them – If you have multiple kids cups, use them to make a pyramid, then knock it down. How high can you go?
When you are done reusing your kids cup(s) try to recycle them. Just look for the number 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 then find out what numbers your local recycling center accepts.
