Caps of all kinds
For example, what we can do with some plugs of cork ? They are easy to recycle whole or cut into slices if we want to carry out a simple project, although the complexity can be as much as we want, imagine and allow our expertise.
Christmas decorations, lining baskets, chairs, pushpin trims, rugs, trivets, doorstops, funny little dolls that we will shape by adding other accessories to make mouths, eyes, limbs or, why not, put a hat on them.
If they are made of metal, normally used in large beer bottles or some mineral water bottles, we can turn them into mini candles, and all of them are perfect for making crafts for children, such as drawings that are adorned with them or simple collages that represent flowers. , like the one in the image that opens the post or little worms, etc, as well as chips for games of all kinds: ludo, checkers, a game invented by us …
Learning to read and write is a challenge for the smallest of the house, and they cannot always face it without nerves. We can help you to do this by creating a nice game with badges to make words and short phrases, simply by joining badges .

Recall, thus, the plates are a game in which the metal caps of the bottles are the protagonists, although they may be supplied by caps of plastic . We can decorate them with photos of footballers, cyclists, superheroes, our favorite characters or with our favorite images, for example with our own drawings.
