Parenting has transformed me into a frugal creature. Bottles are kept; boxes are treasures; and a single piece of paper can be used multiple times for a zillion projects. Yes, I said a zillion. Check out how these creative mamas used their magic with simple everyday items.
Hanging Yoghurt Cup Waterfall by A Childhood List
Young Master Three (E) is going through a ‘devour-all-yoghurt-in-sight’ phase. This, coupled with all my three young masters’ love for water play makes this hanging yoghurt cup waterfall simply irresistible.

That yoghurt cup idea is brilliant! Will have to get that one set up asap – kids will love it!
My ‘frugal’ creative play is a (plastic) bowl of water + a few drops of dishwashing liquid + a straw = HEAPS of fun blowing bubbles, so many that they overflow the bowls and create mountains or very slow moving waterfalls (especially effective when the bowl is sat up on a table/chair and allowed to spill over towards the ground).
Its also very good for developing the lip seal & controlled breathing – both of which are used in speech development
What a fantastic idea Jo-anne! Thank you for sharing.
