You could also use them as trimming on kids sweaters or on handbags. Another thing I used to do was crochet flowers in all the different colours, then join them into bigger pieces as ponchos or hats - it all depends how creative you can be. Just be prepared to be bold with your colours! When I was a kid I loved making pompoms from short bits of wool, then I joined them up to make crazy scarves or toys or whatever came to mind.
