10 of them plus a tennis ball would make a bowling game for children.

I have two in my sewing kit, one for pins and one for sewing needles as I found pin cushions tended to “reject” them after a while :p

Hi
Thanks for featuring my idea about Actimel bottles !

I use things like these to put over the end of garden canes. They help you to not poke your eye out when you bend down next to canes stuck into the ground. It also makes it easier to suspend a net over the canes as the base of the bottle supports the net better than a thin cane.

my children are older now, but i used to fill (washed and dried) plastic bottles with rice, beans, pasta, small bells, whatever you have handy and cover with plastic wrap and fasten with a rubber-band to make “music instruments” now i do the same thing to make “cat toys”

Maybe you could make a mini bowling alley!? You’d only need 10 I guess, then half fill them with sand and you have a mini bowling alley. Haha sounds like a Blue Peter project to me.

i think they’d make pretty cute bud vases. peel the labels off and paint them with basic acrylic craft paint. then you can put flowers in them and strategically place them around the house.

I donate them, along with other cleaned/sterilised food packaging items, to the local toy library. They put them in the ’supermarket corner’ in which kids fantasy play shopping, selecting items from the shelf, putting them in their shopping cart, etc. The actimel bottles are really cute, kid-size items. Admittedly, there is a limit as to how many one toy library (creche/kindergarten/etc) could take for such a purpose.

I LOVE these for rooting cuttings. I take a dot of clear plumbers goop and attach them together in a circular formation. I use one in the center which I generally raise and inch or so, anchored with 5 around.

Dob a spot of adhesive on each and arrange the five around the center (yet undlued. Use rubber bands to hold in place until dry. Remove the center and then place dobs of goop where necessary and replace in center.

I’ve received so many compliments and people love getting them as gifts. I usually root philodendron, spider plants, ajuga and they make lovely combined displays. The plumbers goop holds so well that I routinely run them through the dishwasher to sanitize after I scrub them with a bottle brush when I plant my rooted cuttings. I’ve never had one come apart.

They are also handy for cut flowers. I often send fresh flowers to my children’s teachers and never care about getting a container back.

Similar to Jingso — I fill them with water and use them for sprouting avocado pits or flowering bulbs like amaryllis. The pit or bulb sits on the lip without the use of toothpicks, with the bottom part in the water. When it sprouts, the root grows into the container.
