Recycled, Recyclable Toys

I dip into my recycle bin for "park toys" for my kids.

Clean butter containers, laundry detergent measuring cups, and any other plastic containers make the best sand toys and scoopers! They are free, come in a variety of great shapes and sizes, and I don't care if we lose them or share them with all of the other kids at the park! Once they are broken or unsafe, I throw them back into the recycle bin for collection by the city.
