why am I saving these containers?
I've been saving some Gerber baby food plastic containers and I honestly do not know why. Has anyone been seeing any crafts for these or have any ideas?

Well,not sure if you'd wanna go to the trouble but you could add some candy like hersheys kisses,smarties,small type stuff lol and wrap some cellophane around it and tie with scraps of material and give to your sons class for Halloween or even hand out at Halloween....???
You could also add some popsicle sticks and fill with juice or kool-aid and freeze..
I'm not much help. lol

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TAMMY. YOU COULD ALSO MAYBE USE THEM FOR GIVING TINY SOAPS OR BATH SALTS. USE THEM FOR BOXES FOR TINY GIFTS AT CHRISTMAS. COULD THEY BE MOLDS FOR HANDMADE SOAP? HMMMM.....LET ME KEEP THINKING.

Those would be perfect for a soap mold..... paint them for holiday treat boxes...... Great for that little bit of stuff packed in lunch bags or picnics.....

) and other candy.
