Do you have anything that you have double uses for? A great idea for us to use a product in a way that is wasn't intended for?

You know those containers for the Lunchable Jrs.? They are great putting paint in each part for the LOs. I have containers for paint, but Kieron painted so much yesterday I got tired of cleaning out the containers, I just used one of those, kept putting plastic wrap over it until he was finished and I threw it out.

I stole this one from Real Simple, using a pizza cutter to cut sandwiches in little triangles for the kids, and cutting off the crust.

I use pizza cutter to cut quesadilla's btu it is a hassle to clean for just any sandwich. I don't cut AJ's crusts off either - so it is just one cut with a butter knife. You can also use it to cut up pancakes or waffles.

Egg Cartons are good for paint too.

I use my vegetable pealer to peal almost anything that needs pealing. It is great for apples!

I know there are more, but I am drawing a blank right now. We have an unofficial rule that we don't have any uni-taskers in the house except for the fire extinguisher.

SOunds odd but an old white sheet is great for pegging to the washing line downwards to the grounds and letting kids paint it with washable paints on a nice day. when they are done I take a photo and wash it for the next time

Listerine can be used to kill foot fungus/toenail fungus. I was told this years ago, and I do a treatment every few months to be safe (I'm super anal) and it's much safer than conventional medicine. Once I'm done soaking I throw it in the toilet and scrub it up on the sides and let it sit, and it gets my toilet sparkling.

I can't think of any right off the top of my head, but those are some great ideas you ladies have!

Oh wow, that's pretty cool too!

I reused the applesnaks container for glue and paint etc. Same with egg cartons.

My craft cupboard is filled with empty wipes containers. One has crayons, one has pompoms, one has feathers, one has beads, one has pipecleaners, one has glue sticks and scissors etc and etc
