Miniature Toy Tips/Hints

  • buttons in the shape of animals, school bus, etc
  • make a cubby bin for toys, painted to match the room. Look for restaurant butter tubs or cut down ice cube trays.
  • skipping rope - take a heavy piece of thread and glue a bugle bead at both ends.
  • kite - use tissue paper, thread and plastic clothes tag barb, paint or use a sticker to decorate.
  • Cut the bristles from a toothbrush, paint each bristle a different color and put them in a round tall container with a label saying pick-up sticks.
  • use a length of straw with the tip cut at a slight angle as a "mini" funnel for filling marble bags.
  • use 3/8" lengths of cocktail straws for the paint jars on a chalkboard/easel. Glue them to the easel tray, fill them about 1/3 full with tacky glue, add some acrylic paint, run a bit around the rim, and dribble some down the side. They look like the kids have been at the paints.
  • some very flexible springs in ink pens make excellent "Slinky" toys. Bend them in an arch and glue each end to a small piece of cardboard or onto the floor of the kid's room.
