| You could use them for lots of things...a roll of toilet paper should fit nicely in the smaller container to keep stored away in your vehicle. They make nice containers to store small odds and ends in too. We have a bunch attached to the wall in our shed holding tools and such. You could also punch a hole in the lid of one, stuff the container full of plastic shopping bags and voila!...a paper bag organizer/dispenser!

| I use these for my kids. They decorate them (i hot glue paper around them) then they add beads or rice or beans to make their own maracas or leave the the lids on them and nothing inside and we make a drum.

| Great for storing things in to camp in and keeping them clean. Or if anyone uses a tent still.

| I used to paint a cow print on them and a cow head, fill full of artificial sunflowers with a big raffia bow and sold them at craft fairs. You could paint anything on them!!

I Love My Babies Donating Member | I use one with a little water in it.. for an outside ash tray.. We don't smoke but some of our friends do.. It keeps butts from misteriously appearing on the ground when we have people over. I would hate for one of my babies to pick up a cigarette butt. Yeck!! I also use them to store things in.. in the garage. I label tem. Also for out on the picnic table for a Napkin Holder.. They don't blow away in the wind. Also for Plastic forks, etc.

I Love My Babies Donating Member | Just thought of something else. A question... could you drill some holes in one.. be sure to label it.. and set it out with one of those ant bait thingies inside of it.. The ants could get in and get the granuels but your babies could not. Would this be safe?
