Reuse, Recycle

[Carolyn]

After distroying the better part of 3 toys, I kept all the reuseable pieces. This is the combination of all 3 put into ONE NEW TOY :laugh:

Ahh Carolyn you are so resourceful. The "new" recycled toy looks marvelous.

That is a really good idea!

Between my three we have lots of half destroyed toys and they cost me a fortune each month to replace!

 

Will have to start doing this and will be interesting as well to make new toys.

 

Thanks for the idea Carolyn:)

Carolyn, you did a great job on that toy!! I too save all my old destroyed toys and try and use them later. It's a great money saver!

Nice recycle toy Carolyn.I'm starting to save parts that they dont ruin.WHich is hard to do since they destroy alot of the toy.

I love the idea of making inexpensive toys, re-using, and seeing what works. I too have collected the little parts that fall off or are discarded as the rest of the toy is utterly demolished. If you don't; it really could get way expensive.

 

So far I have learned simple twine knots, braids, and balls are very likeable to Gracie. She like to shread the twine. I have also used old kid-toys like Lego people, dinasaurs, and teething rings. Two whiffle balls as well, but don't tell my kids.

Carolyn,

I have started saving the safe pieces from the half destroyed toys and placing them in the greys toy buckets they have on their cargo net!

 

They love having a look through and pulling all the bits out. Its as though they have a new set of toys!
