I’ve often thought these make ideal furniture for rodents.

When I was younger I used them for my barbie’s and such, or made little things with them. Try giving them to kids to play with! Especially future engineers who like building stuff or crafts.

Could you use them for three pointed french knitting or do you need four points to do it properly?

You’d have to snap the middle bit out too.

I think you do need four, but not a bad idea!!!!

Can you balance one on top of another? If so then you’ve got the makings of a game - who can build the highest tower.

I frequently used them as tables in my dollhouse as a kid.

Reuse them to keep cling-wrap off a frosted cake or similar food item if you’re bringing said food somewhere for a party and don’t want to bring (and forget to bring home) a reusable food storage tub.

My friends and I plan on using them for making wargaming terrain using these plastic thingys. We intend to make a communications tower, use them as a base for statues, and make a towering scaffold for an outpost. If anyone is interested we will start posting pics of work in progress hopefully after week end!
Not that everybody has a need for wargaming terrain, but if you should know someone who plays these games, and you saved them for him or her and gave them this link, they will sure be gratefull!!

They make great cat toys. We have a few that have become the favorite of one of my cats. Strange, but true.

I use mine for flower arranging, when using florist’s oasis (oasis is the green foamy stuff they use). Stick it to the bottom of your container and it will stop the oasis from slipping. You can buy the same thing from the florist for about a quid.
