I have been collecting plastic lids from bottles of juice, milk jugs, peanut butter jars, and more. A good friend of mine has even been saving lids for me. I now have two gallon bags totally full of lids.
I have seen some really creative ideas for using them. I used a few during preschool this year, but I am hoping to make better use of them next school year. If I don’t, I will be overrun with lids before too long.
We used lids to count with a few times this year.
We also made some cute photo magnets from lids for mothers day.
Here are some links to other ways I would like to use the lids. If you have any to add please leave me a comment and I will add to the list. I would love to have a great big list of things I can do with the plastic lids I have been saving. Thanks in advance.
- Teach Mama has several great ideas for the lids. She made a set of alphabet letter lids, and then shared how she used them to build words in this post.
- Silly Eagle Books shared some cute crafts using plastic lids. Check out this bunny, these cute animals, and these pretend cupcakes.
- Alphamom shared an idea for using plastic lids to make a wreath.
