Old Creams

Do you ever clean out your bathroom cupboard to realize there are tons of half full jars or tubes of creams that are either expired or you just don't use?  (I got a lot of creams and lotions as a teacher.)

Before you throw them out, let your little one go to town with them on an old baking sheet.


It's similar to using shaving cream, but since it's going to the garbage anyway, a little less wasteful.  
You can add food coloring to the lotions, but ours were still in a box at the time.

  2. I had tons of creams too when I was testing them out in JC. Turns out she's allergic to all of them. And the ones she can use, they're too expensive!

    Great idea though!

  5. And, supposedly you can use those for shaving cream as well.......

    I use the shaving cream afterwards to clean whatever we were using it on, but it is still somewhat wasteful.
