I hoard containers. There -- I put it out there. I save various, sturdy containers, with the idea that I could re-use it ....for something. This came in handy the other day with my 3-year-old daughter. I'm always looking for ways to keep my children entertained, as well as offer them chances to explore and learn. If I can additionally do so in a "green" manner, even better. For this occasion, I put red food coloring in an old throat spray bottle, blue in an old dish soap bottle, grabbed some old foam letters (but sponges would work just as well) and put a little paint in old flushable wipes containers, gathered up a few unused medicine droppers, opened some paper bags at the seems, and threw in a few paint brushes, and empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls.
