Use them to cushion sharp corners of furniture so your toddler doesn’t get hurt when pulling up on that furniture. Use them to protect the top of your car if you are hauling things with a car top carrier.

If they are the right size you could use them to insulate your plumbing pipes by cutting out the base and slitting the sides, then duct tape them in a long tube to fit over the pipes.

Would they be any use for lining a plant pot to keep it warm in winter months?

you can cover them in fabric
and decorate them however you like
and use them to hold pens and pencils
or crayons on the desk for children

I forgot to mention that if they have a really ugly logo, “dimensional” fabric paint will cover that right up so they can be reused without advertising!

They are great for baby bottles and kids’ sippy cups, and I have several reusable water bottles that fit in those drink holders too. They can also be cut up and used as key/sunglasses/hat floats. I make a hole for a key ring with an ice pick to use the float. For the sunglasses I attach a glasses leash finding to the key ring and slip the earpiece in – no more sunglasses at the bottom of the lake!

Foam uses:

1) Use the round bottom(s) as cheap coasters.

2) Use flattened pieces to protect your floors / tables from heavy objects. I have an old piece of 1″ foam insulation under my computer. It stops the floor from being scratched and makes sliding them out to clean behind easier.

3) With some duct-tape or other way of attaching them, make a “stadium seat”. Tape or glue them to a stiff board – 2-3 layers of cardboard, or some scrap plywood. Multiple layers make softer seating.

4) grind ‘em up (maybe in an old food processor) and use them to fill or repair pillows, stuffed animals, and other “poofy” things.
