Tell me some of the baby things that you have repurposed.

Like burp clothes or the bajillion receiving blankets?  Baby food jars?

I've brought every baby food jar we've used to my CW for her spice collection.

Other than that... I've got nothing.

I'm thinking that my students will be using the baby food jars to grown their own plants throughout the year.  

There has to be a way to reuse the burp clothes for something besides rags.  

I'm also thinking that maybe I can get my mom to sew all the receiving blankets together to make a giant throw for the couch.

I gave the smaller receiving blankets to DD to use for her dolls. So far that's it.

[hermione]

I'm saving some special clothes for a quilt. That's about it.

I wear A&a bamboo swaddle blankets as scarves. I get a ton of compliments, LOL.

I could totally see that working. 

[greencrayon]

Burp cloths for the swiffer.

Why repurpose. Why not pass on to others ..recycle

[Deleted]

The million blankets never ever ever had a purpose. I have kept the ones that people made for them (knitted or crocheted) and the rest are mostly gone. Baby food jars = recycling. The only dedicated burp clothes I received were returned for diapers.

Most stuff I either sell or give away, now that we're done hoarding for future children. If we change our mind and have #3, I'll have a lot of rebuying to do.

Mind blown! Why have i never thought of this!

[ryry]

We've used the baby food jars to make
Homemade finger paint. They're a perfect size.

[drloretta]

Prefold cloth diapers for dust rags

Cloth wipes as cleaning wipes/wascloths

[redheadbaker]

We tie long-sleeve side-snap tees to our dog's head to make him look silly.

Probably not the answer you had in mind, lol.

[mrshandy]

Cloth diaper inserts for cleaning cloths.

[pescalita]

Cloth wipes make great hankies. That's all I got.

[anna7602]

I passed a lot of stuff on. If I could ever find my baby food freezer container trays, they would be perfect for freezing herbs. Right now, I just use plastic Ziploc bags for that and it feels so wasteful.

We were still using Aden & Anais blankets for travel up until about a year ago. They were the perfect size/weight for DD sleeping on the plane or in the car.

Totally the answer I wanted to hear though.

I have 2 beaba food trays I can pass on if you need them!

[mainelyfoolish]

I sold my cloth diaper burp cloths to another mom who was going to use them in making training underwear.

Someone else I know collects and sews cloth diapering supplies for women in need, so she collects receiving blankets to make cloth wipes and diaper inserts.

Thanks! I still have a few boxes I haven't gone through, but I will let you know.

When I was a kid I made snow globes out of baby food jars. Just super glue miniature plastic doodads to the lid, add water and glitter, and then hot glue the lid closed.

[sent]

I used to dress my Care Bears in our baby clothes for a long time. I am saving some of the itty bitty clothes for the same purpose for DD.

Everything else? I got nothing. I'd love to donate to a family in need.

[arch01]

Once we're done with the changing table it'll hold toys in the same bins we have diapers/wipes in.

The diaper caddy we got from the hospital now holds books, a small package of wipes and snacks in the car.

So far that's it. We'll be selling our CDs-I'm hoping to get back what I put into them, I got them super cheap on CL.

[countthestars]

I use our baby food "jars" (the plastic gerber ones) as baby Tupperware. I send her fruit in them to daycare. That's pretty much it.
