Erica in OR Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I turned it over to paper-lovin'-rippin'-shreddin' kids this past week. Loads of entertainment. We just need to gather up the remains every once in awhile to recycle. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy the Valiant Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Fun idea! We always use ours as kindling for the wood stove and outdoor camp fires. So unimaginative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 calf exercises: stand on it with your toes, raise, repeat. Do this instead of using your husband's cherished science tomes ... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Wallpaper your 4400 sq. ft. McMansion. :lol::lol::lol: That's almost the truth. I got a package from them last year that weighed a ton. It had one slim book in it that I ordered and the catalog. I could not believe how huge it was. You can use it for paper mache projects, packing paper for small items, use it to stuff in boxes you mail to keep stuff from moving around, make confetti (why not?) or stuff it in your ears when your kids are making too much noise. Alternatively, you can stuff it in your kids' mouths when they are making too much noise. :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My rabbit likes it. She can dig at the pages and go potty on it. It makes her really, really happy. I've thought about asking others for their old catalogs so that I have plenty for her to play with. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralloyd Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I use the pages to wipe off most of the paint from my paint brushed instead of buying rags that I will have to throw away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My "middle" two kiddos love old phone books. They use them in their "games." They are either a list of customers for the store/company my kids "manage," or they are a list of "soldiers" when they play "Army" (see my oldest's occupation in my siggy.) They use them for other lists as well. Of course I told them NOT to call anyone. ;) This thread has given me a great idea for repurposing that old RR catalog. I'll give it to my children & they can use it to play "school store.":) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 We used it to illustrate the different types of faults in physical geography. :D (We used phone books, too, but ran out, so we subbed an RR catty.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycc Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Speaking of which...have they sent out the new catalog YET?!!!! I am still waiting for mine. I am going use mine as newpaper. We subscribe to newspaper and often need newspaper to line the table for crafts and such so mine will be used for that purpose...whenever they send me the new one. BEEN WAITING!
