The Ultimate 'Green' Sippy Cup

Just had to pass this one on....

If you're ever in a pinch for a sippy cup - or just looking for something to do with all those yogurt cups - here's your solution!

As long as we're on the subject of new uses for old packaging....it strikes me that there are a lot of good things going to waste out there.  Things that could have a new life somewhere else in your home.

Here are a few ideas:

• Use glass jars from pasta sauce, mayo or peanut butter to hold foods that you buy in bulk - like nuts, beans, or grains.  Why buy new when you've got perfectly good jars for free?
• Re-use the big, round cardboard box of Quaker Oats for more oats purchased in bulk.
• Yogurt tubs are perfect for nails, screws and other supplies in the workroom or basement.
• Any plastic containers can be fun for the sandbox or other outdoor play.
• Make junk sculptures out of recycled containers like we did for Drew's last birthday!
• Create a solar oven out of an old pizza box to cook s'mores.
