  1. I Am The Eggman

    Don’t throw out or recycle those egg cartons!  You have tons of fun and practical uses at your fingertips that will just go to waste if you chuck your old containers.

    IMG_1633Recently, our Bluey constructed a robot out of an egg carton and some random bits of a deconstructed remote control.  We learned that it can take an amazing bit of strength to cut through a cardboard egg carton.  We actually broke a pair of scissors on our first pass!  So we found the best solution was to let TR Mom and Dad cut off the sections, and then Bluey could use them as he saw fit.

    Did you know that an egg container makes a fabulous seed starter?    Now is the time to begin prepping for that garden!  You could also use an egg carton to sort your workspace nuts, bolts, and washers.  Or keep them to pack up Christmas ornaments.  See even more practical uses here:  http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,20053007,00.html

    Keep those cartons!  We’d love to hear the ways you’ve found to use them in your home.
