Toys from the recycle bin

These simple free 'toys' go to show that you don't need to spend money to keep little ones entertained. I collected a variety of washed out containers - a golden syrup tin, miniature jam jar, milk carton, soft cheese carton, yoghurt carton, spice jar etc... and put them in a cake tin along with little kitchen things like an egg cup and ice cream scoop. Little loved exploring them all, and Poppet uses them as props for her play kitchen, especially liking prising the lid off of the golden syrup tin with her toy kitchen utensils, and sprinkling pearl barley everywhere when I fill the spice jar up with it.

Exhausting work!
