I cleaned out my basement this week – AMAZING!
Lot’s of stuff went to the dump but I got this idea for recycling the crusty old paint brushes into something fun.

You are a genius Captain!! I’m gonna try this one for sure!
beautiful, creative idea!
Thanks a bunch – isn’t it amazing what you can recycle to make play things!
I am in love. I’ll be adding used paint brushes to my materials donation list for the upcoming school year. I work with special needs kiddos and this would be so great for movement groups. An easy strap could be added for those who can’t hold on by themselves.
Thanks Patricia –
So glad to hear that it might be good for your students,
would love to see a photo some day!
