    Empty Paint Bottles

    I'm letting as much of the paint drain into the cups as I can, and admiring the nice big squirty bottles. Anything in particular and brilliant I can reuse these for?

    In other news, discount school supply order going in today, .

    Hmm, maybe turn them in to sensory bottles?

    Water, oil and glitter?
    Sand and small sea shells?

      I second the sensory stuff.

      we use them with sand and water when empty. they do eventually crack over time, but that is what we have used them for.

        I love the sensory idea but i'm not sure they're clear enough for that

          sand and water the kids just squeeze whatever is in them out and then refill.

          I find that the kids actually almost enjoy screwing the lids on and filling them up, then dumping them back out more than anything.

                We get snow. but the past couple years when it snows it's often too cold to go out in it. I hda thought of colored water for snow, though I think the squirty part is too big and thew ater would get used too fast.

                Tossing them out to be used in the water table in the summer is a possibility.

                  homemade puffy paint? I make mine out of the little $1-2 acrylic paint bottles my dd uses up. They have the same cap as these.
