I have over 20 square shaped plastic containers (from getting Shabbos Take-out etc...) I washed them, and they're taking up lots of room in my container shelf. I feel bad to just throw them out. They're very sturdy.
Do you have any ideas what I can do with them?
What can I store inside of them? etc....

Make a huge pot of soup and freeze it in them!

They are great for small toys, puzzles etc. They stack neatly on the shelf and the children can see what's inside.

I do that! When the kids get a puzzle and the box disintegrates then I transfer the pieces to a plastic container. Great idea Exclamation

use them to send "shirayim" home with your guests or to bring contributions to a party or lo oleynu a shiva--no need for the recipient to worry about returning your container to you.
