I started saving lids a few years ago with no particular purpose in mind. I have amassed quite a collection. In the past two weeks we have used these lids for--
Making letters
Making groups of ten
In the past we've used them for these and other things.
We used them as a base for an art exploration.
We used them as game pieces.
We used them to build.
We used them to explore shapes.
We count them, sort them, and sometimes ignore them for other things.
I have grown to love my bag of lids.
Others have used lids in interesting ways, too.
- Deborah at Teach Preschool has done lots of learning with lids.
- Crafty Journal made homemade stamps.
- Picklebums made a music stick (instrument).
