How can I reuse or recycle baby wipe containers?

baby wipes We’ve had an email from “trapkuspt” about reusing baby wipe containers:

The kind that have the pop up feature, so the opening is a soft plastic.

They have been great for holding plastic bags I want to reuse, cotton balls, puzzle pieces, etc.

And the thin wipes box for the diaper bag works pretty good for q-tips in the bathroom drawer.

I’ve also found that the hard plastic boxes are useful for filling with tissues in places where a cardboard tissue box would go soggy such as a steamy bathroom or near a splashtastic sink.

Other suggestions?

How can I reuse or recycle other baby related stuff?

Superglue is closed. Paint them (or allow the kids to) and the kids can use them as large blocks. There are a few brands that have circles to make them interlocking.

Fill them with sand or rocks, superglue closed, use as a weight.

Paint them, and turn them into planters.

Picture storage. Water resistant, and bend proof.

Use them for shipping. Insert item, tape closed, wrap, ship. GREAT for items that need extra crush protection.

Put a small padlock on the door, use it as a portable safe. It won’t be 100% secure, but you’ll know if someone has been snooping. Great ideas for pre-teen girls who want to keep their diary away from their brother. Also, great idea to glue a mirror to the dispenser door.

Use to store emergency kits. For example, flares, gauze, bandaids.

Paint/decorate. Insert a box of kleenex. Use a tissue box cover.

Use to store packets items. Koolaid, seeds, seasonings. Anything that comes in a pouch that isn’t too easy to store.

Nail polish box.

Use them as wipes. Buy the refills and refill the box.
