one of my mums has just given me about 100 red, white and blue plastic straws......any ideas what i can do with them?? my lo's are aged between 18 mnts and 3 years

thanks x

drinks??? lol


blow painting with the older ones
cut them up small and collage a union flag
make a necklace
flag poles

Cut them into pieces and stick them on card to make a red,white and blue picture of buckingham palace....

Chop them up for making hedgehogs :D

I would chop some up for necklaces, threaded on strings.

Find something with holes they fit in like a colander (?) just for poking them through - modern art!

Drink lots of Pimms!!!!! :D

For the little one get a colander and let him thread them through the holes

Drink lots of Pimms!!!!! :D

Well, der! :rolleyes: that goes without saying, doesn't it?? Lol xx
