Description:

The idea behind this swap is fairly simple. Take an unwanted or old or broken or beaten up toy (or two or three if need be) and give it (them) a new purpose in life.

Perhaps those two teddy bear heads can be made into a pair of ear warmers or mitts. Maybe a couple of tonka trucks can be made into book ends. Too complicated? Maybe you are into something simpler. How about some monopoly pieces made into a charm bracelet or Barbie shoes made into a pair of earrings.

Not everyone has kids around the house so yes, you can buy brand new toys and take them apart if you wish (the dollar store is a good place for that!)

Get creative and have fun with it! It's a great way to keep stuff out of the land fill and to add a bit of whimsy to the old and boring.

Everyone is invited to join (yes, newbies too!) and I can angel this if need be.
