Making bottle crafts by using empty bottles to make toys are a great use of these items! You can use them as kids crafts for a rainy day, or use them as kid party ideas.

If you use them at a party, set up a proper space, and make sure there are plenty of helpers as needed for the age of your party guest. Have some extra supplies on hand too, in case siblings end up attending. That way everyone can make one.

The great thing about these is that they double as a party favor!
