The Other Use for Shower Curtains

Have an old plastic/vinyl shower curtain your ready to throw out? Stop!!! Don't toss it! Clean it up and let the surface air dry.

Then you can use it as a catch all.  It's a great way to save us Mommas some cleaning time! Before starting a messy activity with your kiddos throw the shower curtain on the floor or table, underneath your project, and then have some fun.  It will catch any "overflow" or mess that happens. Once your done with the activity you simply fold it up and put it aside to clean up later when you have the energy to do it! (Or if it's sand or glitter on the curtain just fold the curtain in half and let the excess fall into the trash.)

Different colors of tissue paper
A pipe cleaner
Scissors (used by an adult)

4. Gather the middle of the sandwich bag together and wrap the pipe cleaner around it to make the butterfly's antenna.
