AnonyMouse_35577 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have lots of empty tubs from the body shop - they are the ones that the body butter comes in. Does anyone have any exciting ideas for how I can use them with ages 0-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_39602 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 think of what you cant do with them !! look at matchbox discussion and just adapt and wow you must have lovely soft skin ! potpourri springs to mind for gift for mothers day or sound tubs , or rhyming tubs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Could you make a set of 'letter tubs' - have you got 26? :blink: :1b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_33031 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm the same with lush tubs I have a bag full. As I can walk pass a lush shop without buying something. Almost my fav shop but staples just beats it with it's lovely products, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost my fav shop but staples just beats it with it's lovely products, Are we actually the same person?! I lurve 'Lush' shops - I like that you can be in a town/city that you have visited before and you can 'smell' a Lush as you near it!!! Back to the original post.........I would be tempted to just leave the tubs in your setting and see how your children use them! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 If my Dad were anywhere near them they'd have a collection of (carefully sorted) screws and nails in - ideally with cryptic labels: ' 1/2" br,crs' or something of the sort. Hmmm....that's where I get it from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 jealous.com - love tubs and jars (and stationery shops!) we have random assortments out with the heuristic materials and observe what the children do (3'sand under) - lots of manipulative practice, matching sorting, puzzling trying to get lids on etc Love it!

AnonyMouse_33031 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I love their flying fox shower gel it has such an unusual smell and it lasts for ages. It also has a strange effect on Hubby as he is unable to keep hands off me when I have used it. Friends have reported their Husbands reacting the same way when they have used it. Best £9.00 I've ever spent. Hours of fun ( wink, wink) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 That sounds great Miacat3!!! Trouble is not sure we have any Lush shops down here, do they sell online?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_35577 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 My post has been hijacked by all you lush smelling freaks!!!! lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_33031 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Yes they do sell online just google them. Sorry for hijacking your thread. What about getting the children to decorate a tub & take it home and bring it back filled with as many things as possible. One who has most things in tub win small prize. Make sure all children take sponsor sheet home for people to guess how many things can fit in tub. Easy way to do some fundraising and could help with children language development as they could show tub and contents at circle time.

AnonyMouse_11396 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Oh Lashes 2508, I'm with you on that one. The smell makes me wretch. But I'm sure you smell wonderful.. Now as for your tubs. Number, letter glitter, sorting, autumn items such as conkers, acorns, leaves etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_4619 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We have a box of "jars and lids" with different sizes of jars and lids. Good for matching sizes and motor skills. We sometimes add pasta and they fill them up and make shakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
