Little ones can create wacky worlds on poster paper, with nothing more than a yardstick and some crayons. Older kids can create anything from household articles. How many uses can YOU find for old peanut butter jar lids...? We have been doing this with our kids for years. They make the sweetest little Christmas presents.

And if the label doesn't tell you anything it is telling you everything ! Read the label, read the label, read the label. And if the label doesn’t tell you anything it is telling you everything !

And I love your idea of using plastic bags to make doll dresses before the little one is big enough to start to learn to sew! Imagination really is the best toy-maker, isn’t it, Sharon?

One of my friends used the box her wide screen TV came in to make a play bus for her kids - they loved it. My daughter is as happy poking some holes in a plastic bag to make a dress for her dolly as using store bought dolls' clothes. We shouldn't underestimate the power of imagination. Nice post, Jen.
