Plastics are slowly replacing everything in the home. We try to recycle everything but eventually they pass their shelf-life and continue to litter our environment.

These are some of my son’s made-in-China plastic toys. As he has outgrown them, one day in a burst of creativity he lined them in a small ledge on the wall. I have been too lazy to remove them since. It highlights the stairway landing

Since we are both working, we can’t always cater to the whims of our child. We put tit-bits and simple food he can eat or drink in simple plastic containers that won’t break when they fall. When he is hungry he just comes here and looks for something. We encourage him to eat as he is under-size for his age. Occasionally when he is particularly well-behaved, we put a chocolate or delicious cookie here to entice him to behave better.

Behave well, and better tit-bits will be available :)

Have a great weekend every body.

    I love those little animals so cute. Good idea if he is under weight for his age. Enjoy your weekend.

  2. The animals are cute. Makes me think of Noah’s Ark! As much as I don’t like plastic, it does make a safe container for children to handle.

    Mine is up, too. Pollywog Creek’s Plastic Photo Hunt

    I wonder what ever happened to all the old plastic animals I had as a kid… Too bad eBay wasn’t around back then. My mom could have made some cash! Great idea!

    those are cuties! we have plastic containers too for some stuff and tied tightly to avoid ants.

  20. Those plastic animanls will collect dust wor.

    When kids grow older they cannot be enticed to eat biscuits and chocolates. They want to go Swensens and Big M. ish.

    they do collect dust :(
