I'm on Netflix trying to catch up on seasons of shows that I missed when I was in Japan. And look what I noticed on one of the shows ... a new use for our Stainless Mesh Colander!!! She just used it to collect toys off the floor. LOL

I have enough trouble keeping track of my appointments on my colander. But it looks like she found a good way to clean up the mesh the kids make.
 
Side note: I am so sad that show is off the air! I loved it!!

KG, our comic relief as usual. LOLHeather, dang! Didn't know that. Though I was just catching up to be current. Figures!!! LOL
 
Oh I remember that episode now! I loved that show :/
 
LOL! My little Grandson LOVES to use them for HATS! One him and One for Grannie! So cute!
 
They watchen for them thare aliens? Think about though. Using a colander to pick up small toys is a great idea because you could simply go to the sink and rinse them off and let them sit, in the colander on a towel to drain!
