Great for holding paint brushes.

In the toy area, we have plenty for building, collecting things, as baskets and goals.
We had a few that were splitting so I cut them in half and we used them as golf holes or hockey goals.
.....digging in the block box
....starter plant pots
We also use them in the bathtub. Somedays these are the only toys in the bathtub. The boys love filling and dumping them, floating them, filling them with cars and other toys. I use them to rinse the kids off. The best thing about these toys is that they come with food and can be recycled when you have finally worn them out.
