38. Aluminum pie tins, toilet paper rolls,
delivery boxes, measuring cups: you
have a wealth of toys for developmental
and imaginative play all over your
home. Don't feel like you have to purchase
expensive hoards of new toys each
month!
39. Makeup (ideally clean, nontoxic
makeup!) is surprisingly effective face
paint.
40. A tissue box makes a very good hat. Or
a doll's car. Or a space ship.
41. Burp cloths can have a second life for
decades as washcloths and cleaning rags.
42. Got a million random knickknacks like
Legos, tiny plastic figurines, lost buttons,
etc? Superglue them onto an old
or thrifted lamp base, picture frame, or
canvas. Spray paint the whole thing or
leave them as-is for an original keepsake.
43. Is there anything you can't do with toilet
paper rolls? From whimsical cardboard
animals to holiday tree " candles " to binoculars
perfect for little imaginations,
these are crafting gold.
44. Love to save keepsakes but not into
scrapbooking? Collect small cardboard
boxes for each year of your child's life -
you can paint, collage, or simply label it
with your kid's name.
GENERAL LOW-WASTE TIPS
45. Use a smaller trash can so you can be
more aware of your waste.
46. Consider switching to plastic-free personal
grooming items like safety razors
or bamboo toothbrushes.
47. Seek out brands that offer refillable containers
instead of single-use plastic.
48. Learn how to mend; a search for " visible
mending " will show you how to
creatively prolong the lives of your
clothes with just a needle and thread,
no machine required.
49. Get into the habit of waiting a certain
period before making an unplanned
purchase. Not only will this give you
a chance to save up, wait for a sale or
research the best option, but the desire
for the object might even pass, so you
won't end up with stuff you don't need!
50. Make meal plans to avoid food waste.
51. Shop the bulk section of the grocery
store and use your own containers. I
