What a great use as a planter…. an old child’s wagon. It really opens up your mind to see such great usage of an old object that most would just throw away. What other type of objects…. both old and new…. that is readily thrown away can you think of that would make a great planter? Have you already up-cycled an item? Would love to see pics that I could share!
We keep a few. When we go out, I put frozen water bottles in the socks (one bottle per sock). That way as they thaw out in our backpack and condensation forms, the sock absorbs it and everything in our backpack doesn’t get wet.
I always save them, thinking that I will have a light bulb moment for use by the preschoolers. I realized that my students can use them to erase the chalkboards — sock on one hand and chalk in the other!
Rechargeable batteries are the ideal way to power most household items. But for flashlights and smoke detectors, some experts recommend single-use batteries because most can sit idle longer. They’re also fine for clocks and remote controls, which use little power. No local battery recycling program? Look for batteries without harmful metals!
