6 Fun Ways To Learn and Play With chalk Painted Bottle Caps

All post are ©

We started saving caps off bottles and food pouches almost a year ago.  You just never know what fun ways might come up to use them.  I love taking our trash and finding fun ways to reuse it.  I have been thinking of how to use them in a new way.   I also love an excuse to get my chalk paint out.  So one day when I sat my bottle of chalk paint next to a cup of bottle caps the idea hit me, PAINT the caps.  What to do with them once I painted them I was not sure. I had a few ideas racing through my head.  I set out to start by painting the caps and would let the rest come to me then. 

What I used

plastic bottle caps of of milk jugs and juice bottles, spray chalk paint, chalk, paper, marker.

What I did

I placed the bottle tops down in a cardboard box (I got from under our case of waters).  I applied several coats of paint to the caps and bottom of the caps.  I let them dry between applications of the spray paint.  Once  they were dry I brought them in.  Then I started setting up ways that we would use them.

Here are 6 way you can use chalk painted bottle caps

My 4 yr just couldn't wait to start playing and learning.  He started playing tic tac toe before I was through making all of the learning sheets for us.  We have been having a lot of fun with our chalk painted bottle tops and hope to find more ways to use them too.  The 6 ways we have used them:

1.  Name recognition

2.  Going over ABC's

3.  Practice sight words and spelling 

4.  Go over shapes

5.  Counting

6.  Playing tic tac toe
