Here's an idea for those pesky sacks that everybody gets by the truck loads~let the kids use them as paint or art covers for their clothing. I know it sounds silly, but for littles who are prone to getting the mess of fun art work all over, cutting a hole in the bottom and slipping their head and then two holes one each side for the arms will do the trick. You can also use them to put down to cover a table by cutting them open so the surface is larger when messy projects are in order. THEN the great thing is throw them away! I like this the best because it saves me on clean up and cost. Another idea is to let the kids go into the yard and do a scavenger hunt of sorts with things you put on a list to get from the great outside to put inside the sack. Let them come and show you their finds...out of their sack...OR does your little have loads of tiny pieces of toys that end up all mixed together in a toy box or in a jumble? OK, let your child sort into these SACKS and if you can't get other containers these will work for a time...just be aware that your child needs to be old enough not to want to cover his/her head with it...
Grocery sacks have multiple uses for learning...and support to learning including lining the trash can or cleaning out a car into it. I like to haul our swim gear/clothes too along with one for each member of the family so when we are done showering and dressing the wet stuff can be put into a bag til it hits the washer at home~ Makes it all neater!
