You could ask your local nursery/playgroup if they would like them. We use them at nursery to store small items such as marbles and counters and fill them with wrapped sweets to put in our lucky dip box when we organise fundraisers.

If you like to use bath bombs from Lush etc you can put them in a net under a running tap - that way you can decide how much to use instead of using the whole thing (which can be quite expensive).

lol, I was going to say the lush thing as well... their bubble bars are great in these.

also, bird feeders are good use..fill with fat balls or peanuts:rolleyes:

I use extras we have for storing board game counters in so they don't get lost when the children decide to get the games out of the cupboard themselves & they end up all over the floor lol.

I do something similar.

I have a 6YO who is profoundly disabled and I always grab these bags when they come up on freecycle as they are just so wonderful for him I have a 'Treasure Basket' and in this basket he has loads of items that he can explore safely whilst I am *for instance* on the phone, where I can watch him but still do something else. I fill these bags with tactile items which he would normally never be able to explore and then double over the top and put a stitch in to be totally sure that he is safe. For example - he has bags of walnuts, hazlenuts etc, marbles, conkers, buttons...just noisy and touchy feely type stuff.

Maybe something similar could be made for a littlie? Must, must, must be sure that they are stitched securely, though!

Just thought, how about putting odds and ends of soap in them and using them to exfoliate body in shower?

In true money saving style you could stitch two together with some cord and make a home-made bra:rotfl: - OK, being silly with that one - personally need scaffholding:rotfl:

You could put a few drops of essential oil on some cotton wool and put these in the bags.... great for hanging off radiators or hanging in the wardrobe

I work with year one children and we use these for collecting together counting beans, coins and a whole raft of bits and bobs. So def. agree with other posters that your local school or playgroup would really appreciate them.

Like others have said my kids love playing with them. They "help" me with pegging out the washing which basically entails them putting lots of pegs in each bag and running off with them LOL.
They also make up little bags of pretend food for picnics in the playroom, and millions of other imaginary games.
