Snack and stack
Need another reason to snack?
Don’t toss those aluminium cans of
nuts, pretzels or crisps into the bin.
These tins are great as stackers or even
building blocks for young children.
Just pile them up and watch your baby
knock them down with glee. Or turn
them around for budding musicians to
bang on them with a spoon. For those
into role-playing, these add a touch of
realism to make-believe shopping or
cooking games.

Roll away
Every household should have
a plentiful supply of empty toilet
and kitchen rolls which, with some
creativity, can be transformed into
butterflies, shakers or kaleidoscopes.
Ms Karen Hui, the head English
teacher at Victoria Kindergarten in
South Horizons, shares a fun and
environmentally friendly project
that her students engage in – using
cardboard rolls collected from the
school to make binoculars. Help
