Of course, we’re not denying that it’s better for you to cook from scratch, the environment, and your budget, but once in a while, we all break down and buy lean foods for those meals. Until a few months ago, disposable dinner plates were not recyclable in our community and people were throwing them in the trash. I always thought this was a real shame because plastic dinner plates are really handy containers. Read on to learn some of the innovative uses for this practical plastic:
Mixing art paints
Divided bowls, such as the ones that come with Kids Lean Cuisine Meals are great for mixing batches of lean and watercolor paints. They can also be used for tempura painting for posters and paper mache projects, or finger painting for the smallest tots. For stenciling or sponging items, a dinnerware set is the perfect palette for decorating these types of projects.
Whimsical
Doesn’t your child have a collection of small things to organize? Let him have a shadow box made from a plastic dinner tray that has been sprayed with paint. A little dab of hot glue will keep things glued in place.

Whenever my husband has a home fix project, he uses a divided plastic tray to collect the screws and nuts that come in. it also restores This keeps the screws from rolling out and disappearing. I use these near sewing ideas; things like pins, beads, and extra bobbins. They are also terrible at keeping model parts together.
Part holding? Use the ruler to measure beads, cords, and clips for each child. The shelves can also hold crayons, markers, stickers & more parts of art.
Used to clean small things
Scutari dishes are a convenient way to clean small items such as jewelry, lightning & nuts, beads, pocket combs.
Repack for each repair
Cook an extra a portion or two of food at dinner, and make sure you eat your TV dinner later. . Secure these meals by wrapping the top tray and storing in a large ziplocfreezer bag. Large freezer bags can hold up to 4 dishes at a time, and can be used multiple times over.
Class-friendly silent TV dinners are also great for college students and seniors.
For the naughty
Last summer, my daughter used various green and blue crayons to create plastic “dog tags”. She first cut 1/2″ x 3″ plastic strips from different colored sheets, and then drilled a hole in the end with a hole punch. Then he searched through old magazines to find a slogan to describe his personality. The fabric was cut out and carefully attached to his dog tags using white glue. When in the dry, the dog tags were inserted into the small part of the braiding braid one-of-a personalized necklace – kind.
