A bread bag and two paper plates

Bear in mind, of course, that plastic bags are not toys and that children should always be supervised when making things out of plastic bags.

Recycled lunchbox

My girls needed lunchboxes and I didn't want to add more plastic to our house so this is what I came up with - an up-cycled ice-cream container.  These are easy to make and better for the environment than buying a new lunchbox. 

To make one (or a few) of your own, you will need:

• ice-cream container* (or other suitable sized container)
• scrap of fabric (mine measured about 6 1/2 inches square)
• mod podge 

* If your container's label is printed onto the plastic and your fabric is light coloured you may need to give it a coat of white paint first, so that the label doesn't show through the fabric.
