Recycled: Marble Run
Recycled: a couple of cardboard boxes and cardboard tubes
Into: a marble run
It's amazing what you can do with cardboard, sticky tape and a stanley knife!

Recycled: Safety Goggles
Recycled: an old pair of sunglasses from the Op Shop
Into: a pair of safety googles!
After my boy was given some store bought safety goggles, my girl put her order in. So I refashioned this pair of sunglasses bought from the Op Shop. I removed the glass and arms, coloured in the logo, threaded a ring through the screw hole and attached some elastic. And they worked a treat!

Recycled: Cardboard Tools
Recycled: A cardboard box
Into: A hammer, saw and spanner (or 'ammer, 'aw and 'panner as my son would say!)
I cannot put into words, the amount of play these tools have had. They are ridiculously loved!

Recycled: Doll House Renovations
I'm not sure if this is a technically a "recycle" but thought I'd call it that anyway!
Recycled: A doll house
Into: A doll house with doors and window shutters!
The kids' Grandma gave them this doll house for Christmas. After watching the kids play with their cousin's dollhouse that has an opening and closing door (that was opened and closed many, many times!), we decided to do some renovations on this one.
We added shutters to three of the windows and changed one of the windows into a door. We replaced the back of the house with thicker plywood and created another door. And we cut a hole in the middle part of both sides, creating a walkway in between.
