I haven't been able to find the plastic you can put in your printer yet. But I save all my take-out containers and make my own.. works just as good....

Plushies where to start
Started over 3 years ago · Last post over 3 years ago ·
I just started making plushies too.. this is how I do mine:
1. find a template, or make one of your own
2. pin the template to 2 layers of fabric
3. use SHARP sizors to cut out your design
4. un pin, take the template (paper) off and re-pin the 2 pices of fabric together.
(If you want to sew eyes, nose..etc on, do that on the front piece of fabric first)
5. sew together the 2 peices (leave a gap for stuffing)-- I use blanket stich mostly.. but any will do
6. stuff it.. sew up the hole
Hope that helped.. good luck :D

You could use the cans for putting cookies/candies in and decorate the outside with some wraping paper or something else christmasy.
On a previous post somewhere else you had said you have a 2 year old girl.. I would save the scoops for digging in the dirt or in the sand box.. my 3 year old this summer, was diging in dirt when ever she got the chance. I saved some cherry pits and let her pretend she was gardening.
Cereal boxes make great magazine holders.. I collage a lot so I find them handy.
Hope that helped :D
